I had been wondering how Google knew my System was infected from just trying
to log on?

The difference I see...
PA Bear (and many of the rest) were left to figure out what you even meant.

I had no trouble following that PA Bear did not understand what you were
posting and thus directed you to a place where you might learn how to post a
question on a newsgroup where 99.9999999% of the participants cannot see
your machine, cannot know what you did, cannot do much without you providing
necessary/complete information.

Sure - PA Bear 'top-posted' - I bottom posted and I made the thread look
organized.
Should *I* complain you did not do the same?
I think not.

Syntax vs. lack of information.
I seldom care about the former, but a lack of information leaves little to
go on.

Not to mention, taking your post as written...
You already figured out what the issue was...
Have you been wondering or had you been wondering and figured it all out?
heh *grin*

I am sorry if I was to vague. I can understand an answer that says "You are
to vague". Now I am left to sift through rules that are not consistant with
99.9999% of the rest of the *regulars* and wonder what the problem is?

I did not find my question all that confusing and after a review I still
see it the same way. Unless *no one* is aware that Google can detect
infected systems.

I did not see any need for 99.9999% to *see* my machine as I already stated
if *was* infected.

Thus the question. "How did Google know my System w(a)s infected."

Did I miss anyting?
