I have seen comments here that you have to be careful what you delete, as some of them are important it to running of the OS. Is there a web site somewhere that lists everything. I have one for the start-up menu, but one that explains all the program abbreviations would be brilliant. I am going to do a purge on my redundant programs this evening and am gleefully looking forward to ridding my computer of the nasties Thanks for any suggestions, BALDY:-)	Baldy (26)

If you do run the full version of kazaa go here (dipstick01,hostnz.co.nz) to get the fake cydoor .dll and another good site to check out is spychecker (http://www.spychecker.com/) a site for checking out whether a program has spyware or not.	dipstick01 (445)
