Thanks Mike.
After reading the post this AM. I ran Auctiva a bit.
Then I ran Ad-Aware that grabs all of the spyware/adware off a persons computer.
It didn't grab any off of mine from Auctiva. Only thing that showed up was the usual suspects..cookie tracks from the allowed sites that I have designated.

This software is downloadable and free. CNet ranks it with five out of five stars. Members rate it four and a half out of five.
If any of you don't have this software..it's a must and shows you exactly what and where there's bloat and removes everything swiftly with one swift click of the mouse.
Lavasoft ad-aware has the ability to scan your RAM, Registry, hard drives, and external storage devices for known data-mining, advertising, and tracking components, Ad-Aware SE easily can clean your system, allowing you to maintain a higher degree of privacy while you surf the Web.
Thanks again for the clarification and sorry I didn't come back sooner to post this.
