Also see http://grc.com/optout.htm, which has a lot of info, and a utility to
check if it/they are on your machine. I found it on my rig - it had been
installed by Go!zilla, and was still there over a year after I uninstalled it.
And I uninstalled Go!zilla because it's an atrocious app - it eats your
processor and conflicts with loads of things.
