MICORSOFT EXPLORER - Not a misspelling

[Joe Napolitano]

Sometimes when I open Explorer, the icon at the bottom of
the screen misspells Microsoft as MICORSOFT. I have taken
a picture of the screen and would like to send it to
someone at Microsoft for their opinion. Or anyone else if
they can tell me what is going on.

This is an indication that your computer has some "spyware" making itself at
home.

Get and run one or both of these free programs:

Ad-Aware:

and/or

Spybot - Search & Destroy -
http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download

My computer runs Ad-Aware every time it boots, and I run Spybot weekly.
