It's spam to get you to buy a product, I've seen it as well

Thank you Jonathan
I had a web page open and was lookingover the source code for a particular
way they accomplished something.
Don't know how else it could have popped up.
Should I be concerned where it came from? These things make me so paranoid,
I need to change my last name to Murphy, I guess.

BTW, for a stand alone box on W2K, what are the bare bones Services, and
which can be turned off from default, if you don't mind my asking?

Hi,

Unfortunately I can't find a list from searching microsoft.com

Basically, disable what you recognize and know you don't need, but if it's
something that you don't know it's function, it's better to leave it

I believe it's just as you suspicioned(sp?). I looked at the cookies in
Ad-Aware just after, and one of them was Gator, although I haven't received
any of their popups recently, doesn't mean that they don't have popups
planted in browser sites that look just like an alert popup that someone
gets paid for. And I believe it probably would have loaded Gator on my box
if I had chosen OK, or at least soething to make them some money and screw
me up.

Thanks again Jonathon,
don

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. It's geared to XP but it's
pretty well the same for W2K, or NT for that matter.

This one is also a good one to consult:

so is this one: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup...artup_full.htm
