"TSADBOT" Chances are it's a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program that you had already loaded into Windows memory. Do you have any specific browser programs to scan messages like BrowseMaster? If not, try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL before you go to SI's site and see if TSADBOT is one of the applications currently running. If so, you might want to remove it from being started up and see if that prevents you from running any of your common applications. That's a wee bit down the road though. Rich

"I went to FIND and serched for a program called Tsadbot and found one at: C:\Program Files\TimeSink\AdGateway. Must be something Gateway threw in." Try using the run command from the Start Menu and select 'msconfig'. There should be 6 tabs. Select the last one (Startup) and see if that file is being started with Windows. If so, you might want to remove the checkmark beside it and restart your system. That might eliminate the problem. Either way, it looks like garbage that Gateway did put in your system. Rich
