What a terrific helpful reply. Exactly what I needed working with my level
of experience.. basically 'How to do" in simplified easy to understand
steps. This bags no disrespect to Dan, Rob and PABear.....it was just that I
was not at their level and needed a reply like this to get it.

However, before your response came in I uninstalled the Creative
AutoUpdater from P&F......and its uninstall removed Creative AutoUpdater
v1.40.1 from the User-Agent String.

But now that I now it is as easy as Highlighting the text to be
removed....Delete and save.....I can check this string in the future and know
what steps to take if anything new is added that I don't recognize.
