That's a very very bad piece of spyware, it's a pain to get rid of, if you uninstall it it comes back, you'd need an advanced user to go in with a program called highjack this to get rid of it, that program will do exactly what you're saying is goign on with your machine with programs not working right and computer running slow, I just had 2 jobs getting rid of that from computers this week and it's not for the inexperienced. I hate to have to tell you that, you can do a search on webrebates all 1 word and you'll find a lot on it if you search on google. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vivian Berkeley" <vberkeley@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 8:05 PM Subject: web rebates > John this is interesting.
