Hi Ric,

I don't know what program is doing it.
I leave my computer on all the time, so I don't think it has anything to do with startup. I've rebooted and run the spy programs and they don't find anything.

I just run my spy programs every morning and the spyware is back. And during the day I run it again and sometimes it's back, sometimes it's not.

I can't find any website that I'm constantly viewing, so I figure it has to be somewhere in the configuration, but I don't know how to check for that stuff. David has pointed me to Regedit, so I'm going to learn how to use that and see if I can see something.
