   No AOL/Netscape crap when I open about:config.  I went to Help/AOL   
   Plug-ins, and no BHO listed either.  I use anti-spyware already, but   
   I'll certainly check out your link.   
      
   I wonder if this could be something in the registry???   
      
   Thank you for your suggestions!
