And this is why EVERYONE needs to do a Windows update at least once every 2 days, and the same goes for their anti-virus. But, sadly, we livei n an age where grandmas who can't program a VCR can get on the internet with 3 mouse clicks,

windows also sucks, and spyware is a lot worse than it used to be.

I got it also... I let someone use my computer for 2 minutes and they went to some angelfire website and BOOM... Jesus... But I got rid of it right away... it put a HOSTS file in my windowshelp and I deleted it and it put somethig in my Run in the registry... Hmmm was easy to remove...

problem with updating windows every 2 days is, i don't like having to restart my computer that often.

i prefer it to run for a week or so before a reboot.
