Mike, try posting to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.general newsgroup. This
newsgroup supports Media Center Edition functionalities. You might also
want to check out the spyware/adware/Trojans/malware information on MVP Jim
Eshelman's web site:
www.aumha.org/secure.htm. They also have a very fine
security forum on the site.
