exterra's dad is in town; his computer's been having "lots of popups -- do you think you could look at it?"So I did. His computer turned out to have the graps worm, the ignconnect mal-ware, the bestoftheweb.cc mal-ware, and the msiefr40.dll mal-ware. Possibly more.
I installed and ran Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoft.nu) and it got rid of almost all the spyware, and added the Google toolbar; it's now a lot easier to use. There may still be some lurking bit -- I'm going to recommend he download and pay for the expanded Ad-Aware -- but it's definitely a lot better.
