though they are setup to subscribe to different newsreaders and email
providers than they had been before still show the posts to be in the same

Of coarse this is just one more issue that I feel has arisen from the
infection of the I.E. 7 malware update. My system has been puking on a
regular basis ever since that thing happened. I haven't found anyone with
this problem in any search of Google. Am I looking at a complete fresh
install of IE?

Thanks for any tips.
