Hi Ted, According to Spy Checker, MSBB.EXE is a file that is "secretly" installed on your system (and in your registry) by a company called Web3000. It is Adware. You can read about it here, http://spychecker.com/
Just do a search for MSBB.EXE You did the right thing by getting rid of it, but make sure that the program you installed along with it will still run. If not, then you need to get rid of that program as well. There is a program called Ad-Aware which is handy for this type of thing. I believe you can find it at : www.lavasoftUSA.com Regards, Roger [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 10:15 AM 10/22/01 +0000, you wrote: >Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 20:16:15 -0400 >From: "Ted Mozer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: PCWorks: MSBB.EXE?? > >I am locking my Internet connection with Zone Alarm when I walk away from >the computer.
