Re: Spyware

You said you are getting lots of spyware... just out of curiosity, have you
turned UAC off? I noticed that when you turn UAC off, it also turns IE7
Protected Mode off. As a result I got some spyware. When I turned UAC and PM
back on I noticed little, if any, spyware. Just an observation...
