Check your compute for spy-eare cookies. these include
everything frome a cookie that remembers your password
for you to up-dating your software, your address ect. to
points earned to????? . Delete those that are not
beneficial. Put the good ones on your safe list. In that
way you will have less to deal with. Like if you deal,for
example, with My Points.Com then put in on your software
soft list so that it will be ignored and will work when
needed. BeWare, some are not what they appear to be! Such
as Gater Corp software & cookies for an example.
