Something no one's brought up, but it's simple enough to give it a shot (I've 
deleted 
"comet cursor" from other computers this way). Just open "add/remove programs" 
from the 
control panel and look for things you don't recognize and things which might 
have a name 
similar to the site/program you're having trouble with.

Also, Adaware is non-optional these days, IHesHO. I really hate the idea of 
spyware and 
anyhting that works to kill it is a Good Thing!

Driving is easy.
All you have to do is put the car in the right place with the right velocity.
