I will look at it :) I will also uninstall Eudora since I dont use it any more, just been procrastinating on dealing withthe inbox in it... I can't remember if I have done a registy search for specific pop but I think this is more insidious than that -- there are no registry keys labelled Gator but that keeps coming back too. The ones Ad-Aware detects are don't have user friendly labels. Stuff deep in the guts of ClassID. Dlls in the Windows system folder with windows-sounding names.
I am not really pulling my hair out over this as I don't like IE anyway and only use it when Opera won't work, which does happen with sites with a lot of scripting and/or redirects. I mainly would liek to know what it is though as I view stealth downloads to my computer wuth deep disfavor.
