I'VE DOWNLOADED NEW SOFTWARE RECENTLY AND ONE INSTALLED SPYWARE ON MY SYSTEM

I'M TRYING TO FIND WHICH ONE IT IS
THUNDERBIRD COULD BE ONE

*******************

When you downloaded Thunderbird email system did it install spyware in your internet system?

If you don't know what I mean:

Does this " new technologies " take you to a new site?

Thunderbird does not install any spyware - did you get from an official download source?

It mustn't have been Thunderbird. I've found the program with Microsoft's ** [microsoft.com] adware uninstaller. I was called Link-Replacer and all its files were hidden in the registry editer.

Phew. Now I can write jigsaw puzzles, hard drive, theme park and new technologies and more without that adware getting in the way.
