sorry but yea I think so. Addware has become a HUGE problem recently and its a pain in the but. Kazaa (and other music sites) seems to be a huge problem with them...it downloads gator and other things that the computer thinks is a real program not adware.

Gosh, I worked for a week trying to clean up a nasty payload of adware off my DH's computer. It came in with a virus, but the payload was a hijacker with spy and adware. It was all over, hidden in nooks and crannies of the registry and rewriting itself. GRRR. I had to get an anti adware program (they are free) and an upgrade to his virus software. And a warning to him to stay off of certain sites or clean up the mess himself next time!
