I think its preset with XP particularly to do that. So by using their spyware, you automatically allow them to keep their craptraps on your computer. I highly recommend SpySweeper. This sucker catches every thing in the world and is really an awesome program. They also make WindowWasher I mentioned in a previous post. I can't recommend their Spamfilter though...it doesn't like my LAN connection and gave me nothing but porblems so after asking for help several times and getting help from Webroot, I finally gave up and dumped it. Between using Mozilla/Firefox, etc. and SpySweeper/ WindowWasher, my computer is almost back to the non-spam, non-spylike splendor of pre-Windows XP-dom, but I get to keep the neat XP tricks. Jack,

What a complete pain in the ass. They made it so difficult that if I could, I would have canceled it and gone with another anti viral software. It was a lenghthy ordeal that even resulted in my getting the blue screen of death at one point... while running XP. Something that had never happened to me before. I am of the opinion that all these companies suck. I upgraded to Norton 2005 a couple weeks ago. What a complete pain in the ass.
