    I now have a program called FB Direct running in the background. Whenever I reboot it loads and in running. If I go to MSCONFig and it is not listed as startup. I only see it if I hit cnt-alt-del. If I close it out it doesn't come back till I re-boot. I have scanned with Norton and Lavasoft but they show nothing. This FB Direct only showed up a few days ago and we have not loaded any new programs. Could this be spyware? How do I get rid of it? Running Win98SE. Thanks.

    Hi 4harpers
    I'm going to take a W.A.G and say it's your scanner?
    Maybe a Visioneer or something?

    Thank you Daisy, yes, we do use the Visioneer scanner. I don't know why this suddenly appeared on our startup. We have been using this scanner for three years. Oh well, thanks again. I was just concerned that FB Direct was some sort of spyware.
