My computer locked up as I was trying to upload the file. The resized file is too big.

That looks like what we call Carolina Climber . It has 5 leaves to a clump. Just remember leaves of 3 ; let it be. kirby

I ask you guys because my neighbor says that stuff is PI. It is pretty hard to argue with him since he really is out in the woods all the time, but  I think it is Virginia creeper or like Kirby said Carolina Climber.  It is so close to the house (on the basement porch) I want rid of it but I don't want to pull it etc if it is PI.  I really don't need a poison ivy problem on me. Some of the new leaves look more like groups of three  but not like the leaves on the one above.  It is protecting the stump I want to remove.  Anyway I sprayed it up before I took the picture after asking you guys about killing poison ivy. I will see how it looks after the spray maybe this week.  Maybe I will try another picture.  I should be able to beat the hour it took to post this last one but that is another problem.

One way to tell for sure, - just grab it.
