I believe this uninvited party crasher is bringing in all his uninvited friends. Even my bouncer can't remove him and two of his friends--lycos search and look smart search. When I try removeing them with "add removprograms" It allmost locks up my computer. I feel sure that some of you have had a similar experience, and if you can help you will be invited.

It acts like it owns the computer and won't remove Thanks
