WINNET is Spyware that you should remove. I've seen it on
computers that have Gator, Weatherbug, Kazaa, etc.

Delete all unneeded programs in control panel, then use Ad-
Aware in Safe Mode to clean everything up.

If you LIKE all of the spyware you have, go into the
registry and delete the line referencing winnet at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
