Time to disinfect.Not that I've visited any of the above mentioned web sites but it never hurts.I use what I call the freeware security suite Spy bot S&D,Adaware,Avg,Zone alarm.By the way Mozilla Firefox is great but it's not "spyware proof" it does pick up less but only a few less than my accessorized version of IE with Spybot S&D resident.

SpywareBlaster is a good addition to the above...it has an immunization feature that tries to prevent adware/spyware infections in the first place (it is not resident)

By the way, there is a Java vulnerability that affect IE as well as Firefox. The new version is 1_4_2_06

(don't forget to remove the older version when done)
