Oooh yeah, that sounds like a virus to me -- one that, upon opening the e-mail message or clicking a link within it, resulted in a sudden explosion of Internet browser windows opening, and so fast that you couldn't close them as quickly as they were popping up. I experienced that years ago. Make sure you get your machine scanned with an anti-virus software. I personally would recommend PC Tools' Spyware Doctor if you're looking into purchasing an anti-virus software right away if you don't have one already. I really do not want to freak you out. But I would be careful about using your computer right now, and if you see it start to respond more slowly than usual, or if anything else seems off, shut it down and have a professional take a look at it for viruses. Some viruses will gradually slow down your machine as they take over. I'd like to also mention, if you're ever on the Internet and you suddenly get a random pop-up on your screen warning you that a bad file or virus or Spyware or malware has supposenly just been detected on your computer and "click here to scan your computer now" -- and it's not an alert from your anti-virus program -- don't click it because that kind of alert window indicates that a virus has already infiltrated your computer, and clicking to do the fake scan will only further release the virus into your computer system. Instead, in that type of a case, shut your computer down manually as fast as you can and get it in to a shop for a professional to look at (while the computer is on, if it's infected with a virus, the virus can go about spreading). Don't even click "no" or try to close the window; manually shut off your computer. I mention it because my mother made this mistake once (clicking on a fake Windows alert to run a fake virus scan) when she wasn't very familiar with anti-virus software, and it was one nasty virus that almost destroyed her machine. I hope you can find a great anti-virus program, and once you have it, never click on something not from that specific program to do a scan. Even if it looks to be an alert from Windows. Unfortunately, there are creeps in the world who create viruses meant to trick people. This post was edited by teatree on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 3:15

How about right click the folder, find "Send To" > Compressed (zipped) folder Whatever you put inside a zip folder will be the same as before, when it is taken out and opened after it's journey.

Absolutely do not open any e-mail from an unknown source. I would even like to take it a step farther and suggest never open a forward even if you "know" the sender. Forwards have always been a classic way of sharing viruses be they generated from a user's compromised Addressbook or generated in the wild. If there is a need to accept forwards from certain individuals ask them to delete the fwd from the subject line before doing so. By doing this it will show you that the e-mail is intended and valid. If you are using OE or Windows Mail turn off the preview pane. This suggestion has been recommended for years now as critters began being delivered in the code of the e-mail and jpg pictures long ago. DA

Hey Don, I wrote last nite to say I was having problems using the remote to close the door. You said to try tweaking the sensors. I did that and the light green light that had been out on one of the sensors came back on and it seemed to work fine...last nite. This morning going to work, the light was back out and the door did not work as before. I tried tweaking the sensors again, but this time, nothing happened. Any Ideas?
