The main culprits on my pc seem to be Gator & SeekSeek.
I often get unwanted e mail & have been wondering how to fix it.
Sometimes my screen freezes as well so I have to reboot.
I am always willing to know more so thanks again for the tip.

hi Curio

Gator is another big culprit.

As far as the screen freezes go, it may not be caused by spyware. These freezes could be caused buy a number of things. Next week when I have more time on my hands I will do a thread on possible causes and remedies that may help.
