Caught lots of spyware & scamware       like that. . .              I'm just want to find a way to stop Microsoft from barging into my computer       any time it wants, & force-downgrading me to their latest version of their       spyware system, still called "Windows."              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 134/100 153/135 141 757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 6       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 317 400 424 426 428 452 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/5832 266/512 267/67 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 460/58 633/267 280 281 384 412 416 418 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
