Oh, well. Time to clean it up and add some antispyware, I guess.

I have over 200 successful transactions on ebay, as densnet. and
have saved thousands of dollars. ONE incident where a girl sent me a
toy instead of a $400. computer. I called the creditcard company, and
quashed it. NO CHARGE. Then I tried working with squaredeal, paypal,
and ebay, and got nowhere.
As for spyware, Virus etc protection I spent $70.00 for V-Com
SystemSuite. When I get a new, or used computer,OFFLINE, I remove all
norton/symantec crap, then using regedit remove all references to it.
I install Systemsuite, and make a rescue disk.I have had virtually 0
problems for the last 5 or 6 years. They notify me when a new pattern
file is avaliable for download, and they stay ahead of the onslaught of
the sickos. The Systemsuite firewall is very effective, and you can
also monitor traffic in, and out of your system. Note: (I get NO
compensation for my opinion).
Tell your wife to quit going to the "free" game sites. There is
NOTHING free on the web! They are notorious for embedding trash in the
screensavers, and games, and harvest info from you. If she doesn't do
that stuff I apologize for making that assumption.
I send ALL spoofs, and phishes to the appropriate sites, so they
have tools to stomp those critters.
Have fun, be safe
