Another app that I use is Spybot Search & Destroy. I finds the gators, etc.
and lets you immunize against them. I run both Ad-aware and Spybot, and one
often finds things the other does not and vice versa. Spybot also lets you
lock the MSIE contrrol panel and home pages to prevent malicious scripts
from changing any of your settings.
Roadster content - my dad dropped off a replacement passenger side quarter
over the weekend. I bought it from Craig Halstead who was kind enough to
deliver to my dad's hotel during the recent Hershey show and swap meet.
Thanks again Craig!
