BTW, these people use the www.iwon.com page as their home page In fact, everytime we update SpywareBlaster , I have to remove the entry in the IE Restricted Zone. To me, the page just looks like a general information page where they sign up for news , weather updates, etc. What are the nasties associated with this page?

Thanks again,
