G'day All, The 12 guests would most likely be off shore, late evening or night time in their part of the world, everytime I drop in on the Series 2 forum (UK) it's generally early morning or late at night, same with the US Land Rover forums, they must be checking us out wacky lot in here you know LOL cheers Dennis

It doesn't sound like a pleasant thing to have visiting AULRO.

I keep deleting the Yahoo toolbar but it seems to get reinstalled by some software.

yep..... it is a parasite extraordaire....

on about the 3rd page of their terms and conditions you can turn off the bit where it devours all your personal info and sens it back to them...

many software package it as they get a $ kickback

Yahoo toolbar normally gets loaded with Flash Player....which you need to see Utube etc.......damned annoying. In my next life I am going to be a software developer and every time they send me something I don't want / need I am going to send them the biggest Trojan they have ever seen:eek: :D ;).........:twisted: :wasntme:
