HEADS UP !!! If you search the web you have data miners in your computer !! I installed Ad-ware and did a scan and had 120 of them peskey buggers spying on my surfing .

Ad-ware is free and too easy to use.You can download it at http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=506&cat=31

Data miners are harmless but do you really want them tracking your every move and selling that info....dq

Once you've cleaned them out download and install SpyBlocker to keep them out. Version 4.75 was free, I'm not sure about later versions.

i use ad-aware and really like it -- i run it about once a week just to be safe and keep it alweays in the start up so it gives me a warning if i get one of those nosy buggers in my puter

dq, thanks. I downloaded the program you linked, and the first running gave 89 little pals, the one last night gave another 39 since the first scan. Busy little pests, aren't these data miners.
