I had the same software (and I use that term loosely) installed when downloading mp3’s from a particular site, which needless to say I do not visit anymore.Anyway, however you got it, remove them from "Add/Remove programs" (I assume you are using a PC). If you are unsure what to remove send me a screen grab of your programs and I’ll tell you whish ones to remove.It has nothing to do with this site btw.

Guest Mac_Dude Guests Posted 25/06/03 06:54 AM Share Posted 25/06/03 06:54 AM Yep, you need some anti-spy stuff, Ad-aware as richdave said, and spybot is what I use:Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en...n&page=download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazza is one that is easily fixed by using Kazza lite. The others may also have other options, or source another program to do the desired job thaqt does not contain SPYWARE.remember practice SAFE HEX./dismounts soap box.
