Stuff I intentionally put there myself. Maybe you should go through your \Windows directory and delete all the files that you didn't explicitly ask to be installed. Good luck getting your computer to work after that. I think it can be argued that you installed this "spyware," albeit inadvertently. Maybe you should format your hard drive and install DOS 3.1. That will probably end your Internet security concerns. And it'll get rid of all those awful cookies. -Tom
