Something no one's brought up, but it's simple enough to give it a shot (I've
deleted
"comet cursor" from other computers this way). Just open "add/remove programs"
from the
control panel and look for things you don't recognize and things which might
have a name
similar to the site/program you're having trouble with.
Also, Adaware is non-optional these days, IHesHO. I really hate the idea of
spyware and
anyhting that works to kill it is a Good Thing!

Driving is easy.
All you have to do is put the car in the right place with the right velocity.
