You should examine these sites before passing them on in your weekly newsletter.

Seemd a giggle, so I explored it and its search engine.

Stupidly I lifted my zone-alarm block on mobile code, because Booble's blurb says how they have checked out everything linked to their site..and afer all , it was in your newsletter..... How stupid can you get!!

End result - a load of malware,spyware etc.etc, browser default web page changed, new Explorer Bar added, a load of short cuts on my desk top, more in my favourites, etc etc. Between them Adaware & Spybot removed around 90 items from my system, including about the same numner of changes to the registry.

Resetting the Browser, removing Explorer bar, favourites folder, shortcuts etc. I had to do manually. Also a nasty little file called MSA64CHK.DLL in WINDOWS/SYSTEM executed by a command dumped in the Start Menu called MP3ToTheMax.

This disconnects existing web connection and reconnects to a £1.50 a minute dial up line - seamlessly without you noticing! This little nasty is placed there by FUTRUPAGO S. L, (which is a company registered in Spain), Tax Number (CIF) B(I think it was)83301838, PO Box 13180, 28080 Madrid, Spain. MSA64CHK.dll programme itself is owned by Matrix Technology Network, S.A. 2003.

No doubt its all perfectly legal under Spanish law .....

If I stay signed up to your service, I shall be very very careful with any more web names/ hyperlinks in your newsletter.

I sincerely hope Jo Best's PC was even more messed up than mine was.
