It looks (to my very inexperienced eye) as if the nasty file(s) was/were deleted. Now I’ll see if I can understand the other suggestions made here.
@Superhacker:
I do wish to help myself, but please keep in mind that I don’t know much about any of this stuff, I’m just trying to do my best to sort this mess out. As I mentioned before, I’m a total newbie and need easy to understand, step by step instructions. I am now following the first step that was easy for me to understand (and a tool I had heard of before, I might add, which made me feel a bit more confident in using it first) and to follow. I am not ignoring your advice, just taking it one step at a time. Your patience is appreciated !
Thanx again and Cheers,
Silver
