[Milsurplus] If you use telefonica.es, etc.

Spyware Blaster is also good.  I use all three, Ad-Aware,
Spybot, and Spyware Blaster.

At least two of these offere an opportunity for donations
to the authors.  These frequently accept paypal.

  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.?

      Marty
