Default Re: Earthlink Uninstallable Software

I was having the same problem with SBC Yahoo! On top of the obvious spyware (evident from my frequent firewall Messages) their "helpful" programs were causing frequent blue screens of death. I downloaded XP service pack 2 only to get a blue screen in the middle of the install. Needless to say, windows wasn't very happy after that. One reformat later and everything is running smoothly.

From now on, I'm setting up my Internet connection manually.

Fear the squirrel.
