Check out Steve Gibsons site at www.grc.com and read the info related to OptOut!!
I won't go into it here but he may have pinpointed the source of a few browser stability problems as well as exposing a sneaky infiltration of your PC.
I posted on this forum some time ago asking if anybody knew what MSIPCSV.exe was, as my firewall (ZoneAlarm) had detected it trying to communicate - nobody knew, BUT I KNOW NOW!
It is a parasite spread by Aureate to tell them my browsing habits without my consent. Ta Aureate, thanks for asking.

Real thanks to Steve Gibson, the man is a star.

Hope this is of use to some of you,
Delboy :-(

Actually I installed OptOut, yesterday, on all three of my computers. It found one clean computer, one computer with a clean registry and 21 infected files, one computer with 12 registry parasites and no infected files. Scary, isn't it?

NOTE: OptOut cleaned everything perfectly.
