Thanks Tony,
I run ad-aware as well as zonealarm and norton antivirus. Finding these
pesky little critters sadly requires a few applications, BUT, highly
recommended.
A note to all, if your not running some kind of firewall watch your system
tray and the little activity lights, go to your start page and just sit
there for a few minutes. Watch those little lights and if you see them a
flashing in some sort of pattern then run for the hills and get a firewall.
I once opened a file from a newsgroup and it installed some executable file
that was sending god knows what over the net. ZoneAlarm caught that one.
My wife had the same thing happen, months later she's still getting a fair
amount of unsolicited "nasty" mail.

Hi LOGic Fans,
A tip on some of the free software available on
the net not just the clock programs, can contain SPY WARE.
* Spy ware is a way for some advertisers to keep track of you on the
inter net. They track what sights you might visit and what your interest
are. As a way to send you junk mail or try and sell you something.
* Is it legal? This is a point of view, if you except there free software
the spy wear is imbed in the package reporting your moves when you surf.
* Who do I check to see if my free new program is really spy ware?
There are other programs like AD-AWARE http://www.lavasoftUSA.com that
will check you software for spy ware, try and turn off the spy wear and
allow to keep using the software normally.
