I hope you gets your system restored and back to normal soon, SM! Computer problems are always annoying but viruses and hacks are the worst! [ 05-29-2003, 09:41 AM: Message edited by: Cloudbringer ]

Mystic, its sad but true: you can't trust internet contests. There are just too many scams about. In the old days, if you filled out the Publisher's Clearing House entry form & mailed it back, the worst you got was junk mail. With the price of computers today vs the odds of winning anything (let alone non-junk)its just not worth it. Sorry...

Just wondering where you came across this "browser toolbar"? Not asking for any exact adresses, but it'd help to know if you got it from the c|net network - ie, download.com, shareware.com, freeware.com, etc etc - or from some dark and shady underground corner of the Net?
I generally consider c|net to be a safe source of share and freewares, I'd hate to be proven otherwise now.

Some info on marketscore:
http://doxdesk.com/parasite/MarketScore.html http://www.security.kolla.de/index.p...ts-marketscore Personaly Ive never had any problems with something from c|net or download.com, but any program can contain spyware/trojans and there is always the possibility of malware getting onto any site. Moral : scan *everything* you download, reputatable site or no.
