 Some news

 Most 'zombies' are mail-dispatch code embedded by 'spyware.'  The
 unwanted pop-ups that, for example, offer hard cash if you satisfy
 Roumanian maids.

 Or something.

 They sit in the regristry & aren't plug-ins to Outlook.  Hence
 traditional  inbound mail scanners won't ever see 'em.  And outbound
 Outlook plug-ins won't either.

 Some 'scanners' mentioned might catch registry rogues.  There's two
 that are free & all the 'commercial grade' products ape.  SpyBot and
 AdAware SE.

 Here's a BIG TIP.  Many of those pop-ups have a 'X" in the upper right
 hand  corner that's not what you think.  For the rogue to register-
 embed, it must have keyboard intervention as ADMINISTRATOR!

 Fix?  Don't run as administrator or do CNTL-ALT-DEL to bring up
 process list & slam the rogue from there.

 Best is run a unix variant.  MacOS or Linux (or SunOS, etc).  & forget
 all this blather for uSoftie poof-ware.

 Hope this is a help.

 OK, a slurpus query.  Is anyone using a RT70 on 6 @ Dayton, 2P Sat.?
