Dear Tim and Pegasus:
Thank you for ALLLLLLLL your help - it is greatly appreciated
Solution to problem:
- I ran the Spybot, Malwarebytes, CCleaner and Avast which ended up
locating 42 viruses and all have been deleted. Ran Avast 1 more time to see
if there was anything on my computer and (at this point) there is nothing.
- I also reinstalled the Codec Pac and am now able to move the AVI file to
my harddrive.
THANK YOU AGAIN
Have a Great Day
Maria
