Howard I appreciate the info very much. But the keyboard problem only started after the spill on the keyboard. The viruses were there prior to ththe spill and I have tried a different keyboard. I have done a low level format and booted my PC from a bootdisk I downloaded from PCtech and used fdisk to create the partition and then formatted with format.com. Do you think I could still have a virus after that. Gary PCBUILD's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
