| Dear David;
|
| Sorry to be so long getting back to you. But thank you VERY much for your
| concern and help.
| We DID download/install Webroot's Spysweeper, as well as SPYWARE DOCTOR.
| Spysweeper has apparently done the trick as Earthlink's SPYAUDIT no longer
| alerts us to the "DP TROJAN" it continually reported. However we've since
| downloaded/installed two FREEWARE programs (SPYBOT and SECRETMAKER) and they
| BOTH appear to be more thorough (and user-friendly) than either Spyware
| Doctor or Spysweeper. Any thoughts on the freeware mentioned?

If that is SpyBot Search and Destroy -- That's an A1 ecellent application.
I know nothing aboy Secret Maker.

One must be careful of rogue anto spyware applications. Woves in sheeps clothes.

Spyware Warrior is a good source for Rogue anti spywarea applications.
