Re: Extra "marketing" windows popping up

Re: your list of stuff...

1. ComboFix has been uninstalled.
2. I'm good on keeping up to date on the AV, it usually updates itself once a day, too.
3. I have it set to tell me when there are Windows updates available, and I'm usually pretty diligent on downloading and updating them as soon as I know.
4. Oooh, I will look into SpywareBlaster, it sounds good...!

I have been toying with the idea of switching to Firefox, and I think this is another good reason to do so. The Erunt stuff sounds sweet, too, especially the NTREGOPT functions...

One quick question re: the Javas - how do I know what Java I have installed and what applications/internet sites use the Sun Java vs. the MS Java? I'd like to avoid as many java exploits as possible...
