I just found spyware on my computer despite the fact that I haven't downloaded any software nor installed software. It was 'Gator' and 'Web3000'
I just wanted to respectfully submit to you all that in addition to virus protection and firewall a spyware checker should be considered as a weekly maintence item.

There are few very good tech support people, but many are under-trained and underpaid.

I wanted to give the solution to the tech support such that they can help others. I called the tech support phone, but as usual, I was placed on hold. <G>
