| I've removed a lot of spyware and viruses from my clients' computers,
| but I've never seen them create an Internet Gateway.
|
| Does the Internet Gateway look and act like I describe in my web page?
| If so, it's normal.
|
| If you don't want to see the Internet Gateway in Windows 98, you can
| remove it: go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup |
| Communications, and un-check "Universal Plug and Play".
