Thanks Rose...you can see how far out of my depth I am when I can't even use the forum to get help without help!
Yesterday evening this computer flashed a "new network detected" message. There's no network, except the LAN for the DSL modem, and none showing in either network places or network settings. However, McAfee says (in Manage Networks) that this computer is connected to a network that's not trusted.
In the banned/trusted IP listing, it lists a modification date of yesterday and shows a whole range of IPs in the "approved" listing (all as one entry) Maybe just SBC updating IPs? Afraid to assume so...and in the IP config the Connection Specific DNS Suffix says domain_not_set.invalid

Thanks. Windows XP, and no to everything else. Nothing new installed within the past few days at all.

Well, the problem is that I can't FIND the network to learn anything about it. My mom got the message and clicked not to trust it last night. (Which matches the date McAfee says it was modified) When I go to network places/settings, I don't see anything except the LAN for the modem.
I have not done a system restore--should I?

Okay, system restore done. I set it back to June 25, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything (McAfee still lists the 6/29 modification) I also got a Registry Change notice about something called MyWebSearch which we're not using on purpose--I'm assuming I want to block that?

Okay, removed and rebooted; it's gone (should I be worried about what it might have been doing while it was here?)
While checking program files I noticed that several (IE, Windows media player, Outlook Express and something called LX_Cats) are showing modifications on 6/30--that's probably something I did with the system restore, but thought I should mention it just in case.

Thank you so much! I will definitely be telling anyone who might be interested what great support you offer, and will take some time to browse around and learn more about what you do on the paid side of the business; hopefully the next time I need your help it will be over there!
