I did a search and did'nt see anything. Here is a great little Spyware dectector and preventer, I use it in combo with Ad-Aware because the both catch things the other misses.


http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...d,22262,00.asp

The Info::::

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer, too

To see a list of threats that Spybot-S&D can remove, click on Threats in the navigation bar at the left. If you want an introduction how Spybot-S&D works, please read the tutorial. If you fear incompability with other software you are using, we can assure you that will not be the case. Still, we have created a compability overview listing some software that compability has been asked for before.

Spybot-S&D can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports. A list of features is available if you click on Features.

Version 1.2 will also offer an immunization option allowing you to block many spyware downloads before they even get on your computer.

Supported OS Limits
Windows 95 64 MB memory recommended
(more information here)
Windows 98 64 MB memory recommended
Windows ME No known limitations
Windows NT Full function on admin account only
Needs beta > 1.0 if running in local domain
Windows 2000 Full function on admin account only
Windows XP Full function on admin account only




Warning
Some software that uses spy or adware include in their license agreement, a general prohibition against modifying the software, or the prohibition against usage of the software without those 'bots'. Please read your license agreements first!

And remember: the best way to remove ads is to pay the shareware fee!

What Spybot-S&D can do: Features
Spybot-S&D can start in two modes: Easy mode for new users who want just the basic features, and Advanced mode for professional users and those who want more control. Both modes are available in the free version.
