------meanwhile, a couple hours later-----------
Sony's thread about PCAudi and War's explanation were a wake up call for me. In going thru the paces, I installed x-NetStat 5.1 and found a curious connection from the other pc on my LAN.
Hostname: moscow.eau.wi.charter.com
This didn't show up in Sygate (latest version, set to DLL Authentification, but showed up in x-NetStat with the IP of the other pc on this LAN.
I ran AdAware, Trojan Remove, Kaspersky AV 5 and nothing showed up. Finally I did a search of the registry with Registry Crawler and found moscow.eau, etc. two places in the Registry along with some other moscow things.
At that point I deleted all the cookies in IE6 (there were a lot)and then the registry entries disappeared. I don't know what to make of it.
Anyway, things are tighter here now, thanks to the Sony's thread.
