hi hp sorry so long to get back, but i've seen that you're getting lots of attention with your question. looks like bosquedog provided a good link that explains the adbot activity. i see the word trojan in the article and i get the creeps. as for your 'server busy' message, i get that using netscape (which i am using less and less lately) when the internet connection has dropped, or timed out. you did not mention if you encountered this message while trying to load a web page? sometimes, the prob could be simply what the message says, and the server you are trying to access is busy. but it usually pertains to your connection, i believe. if it's related to the adbot thing, then i don't have enough experience with it to advise you. please post back if you have more questions. i don't know if i've helped at all.... :) mark
