I just got a Mozilla window from an Enigma Software Group saying someone
could install software on my box and keep track of everything I do. They
offer a free program, spyhunters.exe (which works only with Windoze), to
search for such programs that could provide info on Explorer use. The
company calls these programs spyware and says they are undetectable by
anti-virus software.

Has anybody ever heard of spyware? Is it a problem? If so, how does one
check for it with OS/2 and Mozilla?

TIA for any information.

Jack
