Be careful with free applets.
I downloaded a lake applet and I haven't yet remembered from where.
I used it to make a pretty page, which has been up for months.
For some reason I right clicked on the picture this morning. Pop-ups exploded and
I was asked if I'd like to make SPIGOTS COM my home page.
Asked a friend to try, in case I just had a new spy on my PC.
She had the same delightful response to a right click.
I'm furious and ashamed. I've been hosting spyware!
Oh, immediately afterwards, AdAware found Cydor.
It's never been there before, so I can only assume it came from the same source.
