This may be a little off topic, but we all use our computers for this Discussion site.Anytime you are "Online" you are subject to having bits and pieces of these Spy Ware programs inserted in to your computer. These are not "Virus's" They take information from you computer like your email address or address's from your address book and use that info to make up Spam liste to fill your and others mailboxs with. Doubleclick is one of the worst offenders. Here is a free program that works great to clean the junk off your hard drive and out of you windows registery.Run it 2 or 3 times week. You will be surprised at what it finds the first time you run it. http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,10615,63806,.html If you don't think Spy Ware is out there just go to eBay and search Spy Detective or Spy Ware and see what comes up.
