Or get AdAware from http://www.lavasoft.de. Better yet, get both -- they don't always find the same things. (Note: if you use LavaSoft's quarantine operation to sequester obnoxious stuff, SpyBot will report the quarantine area as being toxic. Don't worry.) -- John Cowan www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com jcowan@reutershealth.com All "isms" should be "wasms". --Abbie
