How many of ya'll really like those pop-up windows that hide down under the part of the window you can see on your monitor? I am not sure what good they are if you can't see them, but I suspect they are minin' your computer for all kinds of popups or are spyin' on what you are doin'. I suppose it is time to run Ad-Aware again, huh? By the way, if you are here and are one of the few people who have not discovered Ad-Aware, do so now. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ It is free and it is invaluable for gettin' rid of spyware and dataminers.

If you add SpyBot S&D (also free, but appreciates donations) and scan after AdAware, you'll have a killer one-two punch. They look for slightly different things. There's a brand new version of Spybot available. It even includes a monitor that sits in memory and catches spyware as it arrives, kinda like an antivirus program. I haven't turned on the monitor (called Tea Timer) to test it yet, so I won't recommend it, but if it works, it'll be a nice addition.
You are using a popup blocker right?
