Hi Jan,
I've downloaded the Spychecker XP fix and the HTTP prefix fixer and will try
them in that order. Ad-Aware did remove (only quarentine) some HKEY entries
which I've never seen on my machine (although I run my Ad-Aware every few
days to remove about 10 items..they took off ~700 before I arrived yesterday!
I'll let you know of any developments,
Cheers
