dlewis23 Posted June 13, 2005 CID Share Posted June 13, 2005 Its most likely spyware. Just like thoes stupid tool bars that just get downloaded and installed on your system. Just remove it. And whatch what sites you go to, try and find out whare it comes from, so that you don't get it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
