Default I may be offline for a while

Courtesy of some spyware / virus, my modem has been knocked out. Although I have broadband, I need my dial up capability to access some of my websites and to keep certain e-mail addresses alive.

According to others and the engineer who looked at my PC two weeks ago, there is nothing for it but to do a complete wipe of my PC.

The engineer will be on site this Friday at 09:30

Prior to that on Friday morning I will be doing the restore, and hopefully adding XP Service pack 2

I do no know if this will restore my modem
I do not know if I will be able to get my broadband backl on line

Theoreticlly I could access this site from my works site, unless they block it, like they did once before

So if after Friday, I disappear and get put on the posted missing list, this was why.

It has been good posting here and I was sorry to have to go like this.
