I hope you really ARE rid of it!  

A safer way to view risky pages is to turn off Javascript in your browser 
before doing so.  And whatever you do, DO NOT use Internet Explorer to 
view 
a suspect page.

Personally, I also add two more (permanent) layers of protection - Linux 
rather than Windows or Mac, and a host file that blocks most of the 
malware 
and spyware URLs.  

So I guess I'm taking a shower with 4 raincoats on. ;-)  But not such a 
bad 
idea since the web is rife with "disease" these days.  

Sorry for the off topic post, but I suspect that most of us like to look 
at 
pictures of others' ET projects.  It's a great way to get ideas and 
inspiration.
