Hi, [dataminer] pops up in either my AdAware6 or Spybot Search &Destroy scans nowand then, I forget which one usually finds it. Install, update, and run one and then the other type of scan to clean it out. You'll probably find other spyware also. You can also install and update Spyware Blaster, which prevents many spyware from installing in the first place, but only with certain browsers like IE orFirefox but I think not Netscape which is why I quit using that.
