That's what I was wondering, if it could be some sort of spyware. I have a rather old virus program that may not detect some of the stuff out there. As I mentioned, I'm not having any operational problems. I started to receive the message shortly after deleting unopened a bunch of spam e-mail, but haven't seen the message for about an hour now...

You can get the AVG anti-virus personal edition for free if you are so included. A lot of slimeware stuff aren't caught by scanners, though. You need ad-aware and spybot search-and-destroy for those.

You could also use bit torrent online virus scan and BPS spyware remover, both are very fast and industrial strength.

even if you're not on a network, microsoft dlls are used everywhere that you probably will have to download it.

A 'DLL' is a Dynamic Link Library. Besides the memory advantages, it's easier to update a DLL rather than a whole executable. It should be in your Windows\System folder. It's in mine and probably everyone else's around here (except for the Linux geeks. )

How come it's always, "Computor Geek Needed", and never, "Computer Geek Wanted"?

[Urban Ranger]

What? Geeks are fugitives, Pekka?

I've been online for about an hour today and the message hasn't appeared. I wonder if the message could have been generated by a piece of pop up advertising here at Apolyton.

Since I use an older system, I'm frequently offered upgrades and downloads as I surf. This request was rather aggressive though.

So... should my header have been "Computer Technical Expertise Needed"?

geeks is better.
