    Not us. We never do advertising except in the top right there.
    You may have something like Kazaa installed which creates browsers even when not running... (evil little piece of sh|t that).

    Anyway, nope not us. Use Ad-Aware (freeware) and see what it spots, it does a pretty good job!

    Very odd indeed then. Iv never installed kazaa on any of my pc's for the very reasion you mentioned.

    This will require looking into.

    Get down Ad Aware.... it does a really good job of not only cleaning but spotting the feckers and telling you about them.

    Kazaa isnt the only thing that does this. Real does it too, as do a few more unscrupulous piece of invaderware [1]

    [1] I just made that term up cos I always wanted to jump on that bandwagon.
