Empire spyware...ARGH!

How can I stop this? I know they're looking for bots, but my wife gets PISSED when that black box pops up, makes her paranoid. I delete the thing everyday, and --boop-- it comes back again the next time I log on to Empire. My firewall isn't catching it for some reason. What can I do?

I've played over 100,000 hands at Empire since August 2004 and have never had the problem you are speaking of.

Yeah, we'll need a screen shot to even start to figure it out

A screen shot of what? The porn site his wife visits or the anti spywhare message? (Too easy to pass up)

Seriously though, this is the first I've heard about this too. Never an issue for me or my friends.

heh, right. We'll need a screen shot of the "black box"

Nothing beats a disk reformat and XP reload.
