Good suggestion, Steve.
I guess I haven't been as vigilent with this as I should have been.
It's amazing what happens sometimes.

Tom,
When you notice some new or strange behavior on your computer, it pays to
go the the add/remove programs list and see what may have just
installed. Each program listed will also show it's date.
Yesterday for some strange reason, Google Chrome showed up. I went to
add/remove programs, and there it was, with yesterday's date. I
didn't instal anything, but there it was.
You don't want to uninstall programs willy nilly, but when you see a newly
installed program like "coupon saver", or "shopaholic", get rid of it.
