Thanks, things seem to be working okay now. I just installed AVG again and 
it updated. Now to check out favorites and macros.

Go to user options on the control panel. The page is not straightforward to
navigate with jaws, but you can look at your login and see what groups it is
a member of -- if administrators is not one of them, you have had your admin
rights zapped.
To get them back you have to know the password to the administrator login.
If you don't know that, you are out of luck unless someone grabs you a copy
of some software that resets your administrator password to 12345.  My
nephew bailed me out once with that software, which he downloaded from
somewhere on the net.
Good luck.

Dave, how do I check to make sure configurations were not changed in my user
account. It looks like I am still logged in as administrator. How do I check
if administrative rights have been changed?

Not necessarily, it would depend on how or if she logs onto the
computer, and what administrative rights that account had.  It could
be somewhere else.
