I'm surprised no-one could help me, but after some solid
web surfing via google, I've found the fix. I downloaded
the free software Ad Aware 6 from Lavasoft. This checks
the computer including the registry for "scumware". I
found 36 files in the registry from Huntbar (software
from Trafficsyndicate), as well as Gator. Join me in
getting rid of the scum,
Richard.
