Ran, found nothing. Note the version on that page was 7.0.0.6, not
7.0.6.

It was still running the old Microsoft VM. I removed it (using the
removal tool on the previously-mentioned "optimize XP" page) and
installed update 13 of version 6 of Sun java.

I am not sure. The computer belongs to my daughter, I suspect that no
antimalware was regularly run.

I have a very old Windows XP Home CD. Pre-SP2. I did not update to
Sp3 (yet) because as I said, it's my daughter's computer ... when I
gave it to her, SP2 was not out yet. Somehow updates were turned off
on this computer.

Oh I just answered that :)

I am going to rerun the SAS scan now, and if nothing is fine I will
turn on Windows update and start updating. Thanks a lot for your help
Pete.
