new company name/ownership? I haven't tried this out in quite some time. I still believe in the free: adaware SE, spybot & hijackthis solution. but I don't really have much of a problem when I use Mozilla's FireFox, except where I must use IE. Sometimes, a manager that does lots of things, such as these, you must ask yourself - is it something like Norton Utilities which crashes and causes crashes? can it be useful? Am I going to really look at all of those things and understand what they do/mean? (not all users like looking at logfiles as much as I do)
