Just for info, I found a virus in the MaxLP file in the new Sebring track,
so check it before you use it.

On another note I have found something weird on my PC. In the Cookies folder
in Windows, every web page I visit is logged with a text file titled

spyware on my pc. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may just be that part of the MaxLP file matches a virus string but there
is no actual virus, I haven't  downloaded that track so I don't  know for
sure.

The cookies are nothing to worry about, I have over 800 on my PC. They are
used to keep your settings when rejoining a website. eg. yahoo groups so you
don't have to log in every time.

Sebring for N3. Both Innoculateit and Norton said there was a TPE virus in
the Maxlap. If their wrong, then good. I've deleted the files and I can't
remember where I got it from. Sorry.
Thanks for the help with the cookies. It just seemed that EVERY single sight
I went to was gettiing its own text file.

I don't see how a virus could replicate from a data file. You're right, it
just that to a virus-checker (which is only a bit of software with a very
specific job to do) it looks like one.
