Hello Alan - 

DH>>>> You may want to try running a good spyware scanner too.
DH>>>> Alot of these type things are spyware related. 

->>> As with virus-scanners you really need to run two or more
->>> to be 99% certain you're finding everything. 

TW>> But you have to be FAR more carefull with so called
TW>> Spyware catchers. From the reports I have been reading
TW>> more then HALF of them are Scams and are Spreading
TW>> Spyware. Perhaps undewr a differnt neme but Spyware never
TW>> the less. :-( :_( :_( 

CA>> I've used only 'mainstream' spyware scanners such as
CA>> SpyBot and AdAware and never did trust the others. 

AZ> The December issue of PC World has an article comparing
AZ> SpyBot with half-a-dozen commercial spyware scanners,
AZ> typically advertised online. 

AZ> None of the commercial scanners were as effective as the
AZ> free SpyBot in their tests-- and one actually installed
AZ> spyware! 

AZ> http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,118362,pg,1,00.asp 

Another 'review' showed scoring for many spyware removers where
SpyBot out scored the others but ended the article by
recommending a commercial spyware remover anyhow. Absurd!
