vt, I am running Windows 98. I did a search of my computer today using the Find tool for "Containing text" ru4.com. It turned up a file User.dat. I deleted this file, but it is in my recycle bin just in case I deleted it in error. About 6 months ago, I bought something online and when the "deal" was finalized, the site downloaded a program onto my hard drive. Eventually, I found it and deleted everything, including a file that went with it: user.dat. I am pretty sure the user.dat file should not have been on my hard drive and came with the ru4.com cookie. Without the ru4.com, the user.dat file should be worthless, but today who knows. Had some wierd stuff happen on my computer today. Out of nowhere, my computer starting backing up system files "saying" it found one or more corrupted file. I was hit by the Nimba A virus in January - don't want to go thru that again. Merry
