there are soo many sites throwing  onto your computer that work in sync with  installed on your comp its sad.
 i love google and ebays sneaky adserve  :flip:
block cookies, block pop-ups and clean your "temp" folder(not just temp. internet files folder) after your done surfing the web. problem solved. doing this takes literally a minute.
ive been floating around the internet without any antivirus, spyware and adware blocker for over 2 years and havent picked up a virus, trojan or secret explorer add-on since. and yes, i do check for them.

yea i do all that but i guess i'm too lenient with my cookies...
I use firefox to filter my cookies, i expect places like msn and google and the such to be fine... but im in a dreamland i suppose. :hick:

Just very unexpected to go look up a part on a well known companies site and have your AV freak out and warn of a trojan horse present, heh.
