What the heck? Zone Alarm just asked me if I wanted this app to access the
Internet. I said no till I find out what it is. No mention on GoogleGroups
as to what it is. Searching Google brings up hits for simonw32 but only dll
sites to repair it. Don't see any mention of viruses or spyware/malware so
I guess I'm not in any threat that way. Can someone tell me what it is and
if I should allow it to access the Internet? Doing a search on my hdd, I
have a simonw32.exe and .dll in Windows/System32.
Thanks,
Monica

Thank you for replying Carey. Do you know that this is malware? I use
Norton's and keep it updated. I also have Spyware Blaster running. Can you
direct me to where I can read about simonw32 being malware? Thanks,
Monica
