I had to disable it in my brothers windoze.  It is SP2 by now but it was 
not then.  I don't know who to blame for that one.  Windoze for having 
it or the spammers for using it for something other than what it was 
intended for.

I wonder if those people would like a visit from the feds though.  o_O  
It wouldn't suprise me if they are also sending out spam email. 

I did download the file listed on their site but it is a .exe file.  I 
have no idea what it does though.  It's not like I can install it.  LOL

Where's my rope again??  I have a lot of trees.  ;-)
