-=PCTechTalk=- Re: IE Association Error

Hi -  I did all this, Norton Antivirus found no infections, CW Shredder said 
Cool Web Search was not found on this system, and I ran AdAware and it found 
47 critical objects, all tracking cookies.  I deleted these, ran it again, 
and it found nothing else.  I rebooted, and went to the site I mentioned, 
http://www.getptr.com/pages/index.php?refid=northlodge , and I still got the 
Browser Helper error.  I just got back on, so no instances of the "busy 
window" yet.

I appreciate all your help greatly...where do I go from here?

Thanks,

Connie C.
