That's not what happened to me two months ago. I had a spyware infection, caught from banner ads from a service I was using. This was a new experience. It took me a day to figure out how it happened. Fortunately someone told me "most people receive spyware infections all the time; spybot and ad-aware are the usual freeware tools for cleaning ms IE browser." Without that clue I would have wasted hours or days of time. It's probably pretty safe to say such a thing to a non-techie, since they won't know how to track down and upload spybot and ad-aware. It's the equivalent to revealing that Norton is a supplier of antivirus products. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
