Sorry, but that isn't a fix for me. I run AdAware,spybot
zonealarm and norton 2004 always on, always updated,
scanned weekly. Its easier to avoid that crap than to
clean up the mess later. I have a ISP provided filter on
my email account befor it even gets to me. I keep my
puter clean. Id say Im safer than most common users.

The settings you suggest turning off, were already off.

I appreciate all suggestions Thanks.
