If you are experiencing problems generated by one of these programs, you

will most likely want to remove it from your computer. You can visit

http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ to review information about a number of

known parasitic software programs, including suggestions on how to remove

them. You can also download programs that attempt to detect and uninstall

parasitic software. Two examples of these programs are Spybot's 'Search

and Destroy' and Lavasoft's 'Ad-Aware.' They can be downloaded at:

Destroy')

If you feel you were deceived when you installed a program that creates

pop-ups, redirects, or modifies your browser in an unwanted fashion, you

can take action. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) handles complaints

about deceptive or unfair business practices. To file a complaint, visit:
