Like Robert I went & got the utility & have deleted 24 files. Today we got McAfee "guard dog", which among other things checks for computer invaders (my word). I have been on the net for 15 minutes and 11 (eleven!!) places I have never been have tried to place Cookies in my computer. Club Kasparov also tried to place a cookie. Call me naive, I'd never heard of cookies until today, and I'm amazed & disgusted. I've never heard of these companies or websites & they're planting "listening devices" in my computer. Thanks again for alerting me to this Spyware mob! "....we assure you that this information is never used...." Bloody Wow!
