mark, re >The Internet Sweep icon in your System Tray

I am now better informed. Internet Sweep is always on.
To see it flashing, though, I'd have to unhide my
task bar. I'll take a look at tipworld. If I subscribe,
I have to cancel something else first. <g>

ActiveX stuff...

I downloaded a program which tells me what ActiveX stuff I have on my machine. Forgot where I got it from, but clicking on 'About' brings up this:

Active XCavator v1.0
Digging up dirt on ActiveX controls

Developed for Windows Magazine by Cognitronix, 12642 Poway Rd. Suite 16120. (619) 549 8955.

I hope this is enough to locate it. You seem better at finding stuff on-line than most.

Cheers, PW.
