This is all fixed. I was on the phone with a Microsoft Tech who worked with
me for about 1-1/2 hours and then he handed me off to a higher level Tech. We
installed and ran Combofix and it found somee spyware, some from Google and I
don't know who else. Anyhow the problem is fixed and the PC is working fine
now. Thanks for the help. (the microsoft higher level Tech was in India)
