Download a program called BHO Cop (search for it on the internet).

It can help you check for Browser Help Objects.

Sometimes you get some snooping software or other type crap installed unknowingly and it lurks in the background.

Uncheck anything that looks suspicious!

Some spammers are now using the Windows Alerter/Messenger services to pop up stuff on your screen. This is pretty freaky. Your firewall may be configurable to block the network port that those messages are transmitted on, or (depending on your operating system flavor) you can just shut off those services. Very few people actually use them. If you're running Win2K or XP, go into the "Services" applet under the Control Panel - Administrative Tools and change the startup type of the "Messenger" service to Manual or Disabled. (Also click Stop to shut it off w/o rebooting.)

Holy Fu*king Crap Fu*k! I just downloaded that and it found like 345,871,231,209 of these spyware thingies. I was almost gonna buy a new computer because it would take like 5 minutes just to log into Windows! Now it is like instantaneous. 914 people are good for more info than just 914's!!!

Thanks guys
