yes, seems to have stopped. Hope that's the end of it. I have been having annoying problems with my computer and TimeWarner slowing to a near crawl, which are described as symptoms on the gstatic virus removal page, but they could be happening for alot of other reasons too, like 95% RAM usage...;)...but hopefully, google has protected itself against gstatic posers...back in the day, we used to do a jump table size check confirmation on say, the "OpenFile" system function, to make sure it was the REAL "OpenFile" system function and not a poser virus in a wrapper...;)!!!
