Back a couple of years ago when I first found this forum I read and read other's problems and learned a bit. Then suddenly one day I had problems and turned to Cyber Tech Help for assistance and my problems were solved. Since then I have kept a number of programs on my computer....run them frequently and keep them updated. During this time its nearly as if spyware, virus and other nasties were never developed. My point is simply this follow the advise you get here...be deligent in using what is suggested and the internet will be a much nicer place. Its only when I see a friend's computer who doesn't use any "protection" that I remember there were such things as pop ups. Thank you Cyber Tech Help - Webster

Last Tuesday, Microsoft announced that Gordon Mangione, the vice president of the Security Technology Unit, was leaving the company to pursue other interests. Mangione's departure comes at a critical time for a company that has seen several new updates to its product line, and is expecting many more with the upcoming release of Windows Vista. Even with Vista's crunch time rapidly approaching, Microsoft has not been shy about performing executive retooling.
In July, Ars reported on the trial of Kai-Fu Lee, a former vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Services Division, who was hired by Google and then sued by Microsoft for breaking his non-compete. Not only did Lee win the case, but he also tarnished Microsoft's reputation for organization when he portrays the company in a state of disarray, citing a lack of communication in product development centers and interoffice disputes.
Lee, who opened Microsoft's research lab in China in 1998 and moved to headquarters in Redmond, Wash., two years later, fretted over what he saw as repeated missteps. In court he detailed how the more than 20 product-development centers in China tripped over one another, duplicating efforts and even fighting over the same job candidate. Lee called the company "incompetent." Since Lee's trial, Microsoft has been publicly revamping its management system through both words and actions.
Internally, Chris Jones, a high-ranking Windows Executive, stepped up as a strong leader for the Vista product team when he took sole responsibility for Vista's ship date last week. Vista, being plagued by delays and a revolving feature set, has been lambasted by critics, but Jones' statements about completing Vista earlier than expected portrayed Vista in a new light, giving the operating system a more definite ship date August 31, 2006. Previously, Microsoft's management team had been hush about giving Vista a ship date, only stating that the final code shipment would be in 2006.
