Nope, not it. It came back when I deliberately loaded a pdf, but it doesn't
seem to be doing any harm.

figure out what it might be. That's surely what it seems like. I ran virus
and spyware checks, but they found nothing. I saw a process that I don't
recognize called wisptis.exe. That seems to be a legitimate file but one
whose name is sometimes hijacked for nefarious purposes. I don't think
there were legitimate reasons for it being on, and I found it in the
prefetch directory, which isn't where it's supposed to be...
I've taken it off, and will see what happens now.
I'm not using Norton IS, and I haven't changed my zone alarm, which has
been working fine. DOn't have any parental controls, etc. I wonder if that
file was a baddy -- acrobat reader uses one of that name, but I hadn't
been using Acr. Reader.
Oh, well, we'll see. Thanks for the commentary. I'll report.

This would be my question too. I wonder if there is a firewall setting
that doesn't
like certain sites. Do you happen to be using Norton Internet Security (or
something like this) with parental or some other controls activated? What
happens
if you visit the same site with something like www.sneakysurf.com - same
problem?
