    Good find Daizy! :) I was going to suggest updated versions of the three links in my signature.

    Thanks Daizy! It seems that those three programs may well be the most important utilities I've ever come across (through WindowsBBS recommendations :)) and almost necessary to have if one wants to continue not only using the internet but also to maintain control over IE, and after inserting URL's a couple dozen times, laziness took over and I added them to my signature (took me two days to figure out how. LOL).

    You're most welcome katman2000. Glad you got it sorted.

    It would be a very good idea to run Ad-aware as well, as

    noahdfear had suggested.
