List members: I recently discovered that my modem was working while I wrote a reply to an e-mail, normally I disconnect as soon as I receive my mail but this time I decided to reply immediately and so remained connected.
After hunting around on the Internet I finished up on www.lavasoftusa.com I downloaded their program and found some 55 adware/spyware inclusions on my computer. I removed the problem. I then found a recently installed program I didn't remember installing called Precise Time (possibly Precision Time) when I opened this program it installed another adware/spyware program. Precise Time is supposed to connect to the US Nuclear clock so you can set the time on your computer accurately. A quick check for one adware program is to look in your windows folder for files called Gator. I think one adware program was installed when I updated QuickTime Player, at least it was installed that same day. Just thought I'd warn you. David C
