RW,

We found the same problem with cookies on one of the PC's in the office and it appears that the cookies were very difficult to eliminate. Our IT guy (my nephew) took 30 minutes just to get rid of them and to block them permanantly. Our firewall is pretty darn good, so these are really malicous.

Unreal, hiddeous stuff indeed.

ok - let's make this a lesson learned thread!

In 2004, Mastercard called me out of the blue - ~$2000 in questionable charges from computer supply companies in California. Relatively painless process - just change card numbers and spend 5 minutes telling them what's legit. Lesson learned: do NOT use the same password on Hotmail and PayPal (it took a couple months to figure that one out...).

In, um... last year? Got hit with a 19.95 charge every month for some goofy shopping club on mastercard. Caught if on month 3 or 4. Lesson learned: be VERY careful when you click "ok" on the ftd site when ordering flowers. That's where they got me.

Tom

I hope that we are all careful and pay very close attention to our credit card bills.

I agree, Tom. This thread should be entitled "Lessons Learned". Maybe our moderators can change the thread title for us.
