Here's something everyone may want to check for on their PC's.
It seems some webmasters have 'teamed' up with www.internet-optimizer.com and are including code on their web sites that silently drops internet optimizer into your PC (somehow it even got through my firewall) and hijacks your browser when an error page is found online and redirects you to one of their web pages instead of the intended error page. This program also drops a java script virus onto your system.
The easiest way to find this program is by using something like Ad-aware and let it remove the registry entries that internet optimizer sets up.

Some of what is said here (myself included) is about as tolerable as listening to someone vacuum a cat.
