I have not found additional spyware b/c of internet poker. I have accounts at several sites.

I just scanned with Trendmicro, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware last night...no problems. I have Empire, PokerPlex, PokerStars, Paradise, and Sportingbet on my system. I think casino's make too much money on their own business plan do bother with spyware...and the whole privacy/security thing would be a stupid area for them to monkey with.

you need to run the program again then.
Paradisepoker, 888.com and many others infect your computer

hmmm. I actually just came back here to retract my words! Only not to your point...I have been working on a comp from one of the other group homes in our org, and it is riddled with pop ups from Party Poker and Casino.net. They are n't directly causing hte ads...but they are paying for them!! I will check out ur advise..stay tuned: [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
