Hi SoftTop,
I use F-Prot as my viruschecker and have Ad-Aware installed. Both are updated on a regular basis.
I also use the on-line free virus checker from Trendcall as a back up to everything else I do.
It was after reading the E-Mail Question thread by Devlin Carnet that I thought, Hmm, I wonder what's on my account stuff. Thats' when I found all the LAN stuff.
Following the advice from stripholderloader I deleted them all and they have not come back (yet). I don't go anywhere my mum wouldn't like on the Internet, limiting myself mainly to anything Cinook crash related (boring, I know - but see Mil Thread), and family tree stuff.
I wonder if they are put there on Win98se installation, or when I load a legit programme on my system (manufacturers 'gift' etc?).
If they (or anything similar returns), I'll be sure to shout.
As always,
I'm very grateful for the advice given so freely to dullards such as I.
Kind regards,
Brian
