Ried,
Sorry about the delay in responding - I was out of town on business.

I updated Spybot SD to V1.4 (the TeaTimer registry change prompt box is broken). Spybot found no problems. I checked the configuration of Ad-Aware - I had all the settings correct according to the guide. It also showed no problems.

I ran WinPFind - it cooked for TWELVE HOURS with VIGOROUS hard-drive activity. Then I had to power cycle the system; no damage done but a grand waste of time.

I'm still getting hits in machine-gun rapid-fire sequence from only on this computer:
hits.clickandtrack.com
a.websponsors.com
venus123.com
server.cmpstar.com
m.2mdn.net
ad.doubleclick.net
view.atdmt.com
trafficmp.com

I'm still wide open to suggestions, however, I'm curious, as an engineer when I debug a system, I look to see what it's actually doing. Isn't there some way to insert some Java code that intercepts and shows what's going on at the exact time the ad-ware opens it's window? It has to be executing a script to do what it does and that ought to be detectable and trappable while the code has its window open.

Thanks again
-Lou
