Its still there, but its not popping up. Ive done everything to uninstall the bugger, but it regenerates itself. Im not gonna mess w/the sys registry, im not good enough to mess around in there. Thats 77mb of wasted space. And I tend to think its more of a virus. I ran adaware, it slipped right by undetected.

Faded, generally, if you use IE, and if you don't have patches, it's easy for malicious users to download soft on your PC. Without your knowledge/acceptance, of course.

Well thats food for thought. I wonder how the spammers keep finding my email maybe? Hell, I changed my address so I could stop them. But they just seemed to evolve and find me anyway.

fg: Bots crawl the web and pick up email addresses to spam. Your email's in your sig, so that's a lot of pages they can lift your addy from.

Well the porn that finds it way to my mailbox is not the good lesbo stuff. Its all barnyard sex, 60 year old hoe's dressed like cheerleaders, and gay slueth crap too. I dont even open them anymore. Just delete.....delete...delete.

Tho a few have gotten really good at disguising there messages. I'll think there from a friend or somthing.

I didnt read the entire thread so you may have this answer. Get the freeware program RegCleaner and delete all references from your registry then toss out the program folder.
