Aaron, some sites can extract personal information for you system threw cookies
or other sources. IE goto tools then internet options, select high security
under the security tab if you don't want unwanted access to your system when
surfing bad sites. Having high security can also restrict you from access normal
sites sometimes, so put it back down to normal or low security when normal
surfing. You must of hit a site that runs a script that adds you to there
mailing list, they also change you home page and add there link to your favorite
list. The newer IE 5+ or Netscape have high encryption and security.
www.windows.com for upgrades for IE.
Hope this helps.

Subject: DML: Unwanted Porn
Hey guys, in the last two days I have recieved about ten emails (not DML)
offering me links to free porn sites and what not. Some of them say that it
is in response to a feedback form I filled out, one starts off by saying,
"hey, remmember me." Well I don't remmember the email address and I never
have filled out a form, the only place I have put my email address in is the
for this list. I use another account altogether for all internet ordering.
I was just wondering if anyone else on the list was experiencing this, like
maybe a fellow DMLer was putting in our email addresses for fun. I am just
checking.
