Safe Shopper

[Tom Altonji]

I brought up this morning and I got a message that "Safe
Shopper" had been installed on my computer. It said that
it would identify me to vendors as a "Safe Shopper". It
did not say who the company was that produced this
software. I'm wondering how they know I'm a "Safe
Shopper". How do a get rid of this program? I can't find
it in the control panel?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
