Sounds cool. I'll try it. BTW, how many tools like this do you use on you computer. Jim

Interesting thread! I'm d-loading Naviscope right now. Couple of comments/questions: -I made my "cookies.txt" files 'read only,' and only reset that file marker bit when I trust the site sending the cookie. Also, despite warnings to the contrary, I edited the file and removed listings I didn't recognize. That was a couple of months ago, and so far, so good. Am I wasting my time, or is this a worthwhile effort? -A few months ago I got an email with something called "JoeFish.exe" attached. I deleted it without running it, but now I'm getting that same email and several other spam emails showing up periodically. Any clue as to what's going on? Again, great thread. jim
