These are programs that seize your computer and attempt to put messages on your screen. Chris of Kettering: "Is the word you are looking for "Spyware?" I know that some of the music sharing programs that I download will attempt to install programs such as new.net, which is a vicious little program that infects deep within the bowels of your system. To the naked eye, an attempt to remove it via "Add/Remove" on your system often will not get rid of the program and will disable your internet connection." Ted: new.net is truly nasty. Randy from Oxford: "I think the "spyware" elimination program name you may be thinking of is AD-AWARE. I've used it for a couple of years ; it works well and its FREE."
--AdAware is available from LavaSoftUSA.com.
