after i did the install i ran ad aware and what do you know - they planted all kinds of sh*t.

if you don't have ad aware get it... it's free and it works.

I wouldn't go without Ad Aware!! Too much hidden crap gets on your computer.

I'm getting cable internet tomorrow (paid by work) and I can't wait. This dialup is getting very old. :(

I make it a point to "un-click" all the little boxes they try to slide in when you load something new that allows the to bombard you with spam, and sell your info off.

I watch for it as close as I can, but I knew I still miss out. Let me know what y'all think. I don't want to get carried away and chunk out files that pertain to my OS :eek:

well you have to be smart about it. when you do your search be sure to make sure to cross reference dates.

uninstall from the control panel add/remove programs but locate the files from the start/find.

if you are unsure though, leave it, but run ad aware or spybot.
