There is an excellent Adware, or Spyware removal
program out that is free. It is called AdAware, and
can be downloaded from http://www.lavasoft.de I highly
recommend it!!! Not only can spy software follow your
Web Browsing Habits, but can wreck havock on your
system. I have seen several adware software programs
cause considerable problems for users.

Good Luck,  Steve Wolfe...
