I traced a Trojan Horse the other day - and it came from Comcast Cable. I
thought that was very interesting.

I actually, also, have Spybot.....which is doing a good job of getting rid
of stuff that made it to my hard drive.  I'm just trying to find out how it
made it to the hard drive....if my virus protection does recognize the code
as malicious.  It is supposed to be scanning everything that is flowing to
my computer.  I liken this to catching the terrorists on the runway, with
weapons.  How did they get past the gate, in the first place.  Yeah...it is
great that we caught them....but they aren't supposed to get this far,
first.   :)

Keith:

I have used both Adaware and Spybot successfully to keep my machine clear of
spyware and other nasties.  You might give them a try.  Both free.
