here again is the link for spybot http://security.kolla.de/ I have found that it will find things that ad-aware does not, and visa versa. I am unfamiliar with both AOL and yahoo messenger - haven't used that one for years now... so maybe someone else more experienced with it can help or maybe you should consider using a pop-up stopper? if you go to the archives for this tech group //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ and do a search on pop-up stoppers, you will find a wealth of information on different programmes that members of this group use. good luck! ~s ----- From: <Hotredlips779928@xxxxxxx> > Hi, I have ad-aware that I got on the net and have used that.
