It has been discovered by LunarTick (to whom I would officially like to apologize and thank at the same time) that the file uninstall.exe that is created in the installation of my 01001001, Robot freebie is indeed corrupted with something called Diablo Keys. This is not something that shows up on Spybot SD or Ad-Aware searches, which is why I never had any idea about it until today. Diablo keys is a keylogger (read: it logs everything you type). This is the extent of the bad news. The good news is that that this bit of spyware seems not to be activated, and the fix is quite simple, without the need to delete the bryce file or whatever. All you have to do is to go into: Drive: Program Files: Corel: Bryce: Presets: Objects: ROBOTv2 Delete the file uninstall.exe. That's it. I'm currently coming up with a new installer now that my own system is free of this threat and will be overwriting the old file with a new one. Obviously, my abject apologies on the matter. I like to keep my system clean as a whistle. I didn't have SpySweeper until today, Spybot and Adaware not picking up on it. Mihnea
