When I check, of course I get nothing..

Update..he found that he had malware on his pc..the datonary spyware or more commonly known as coolwebsearch spyware.
be careful as it supposedly comes from pop-ups that take advantage of the ie inscurities

This is one reason I am using Mozilla today. Only downloaded it to check html with, but it seems to be a reasonable idea to surf with these days.

I basically use Netscape 7 all the time. I only do reviews in IE and that's mostly it.

Here's the Fix for the Cool Web Search Malware (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html) - I case someone needs it.

I did a few weeks ago - it drove me insane |banghead|
