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 [email hidden] . Is this normal, or have I got some 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. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Raja <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9dj2e8$h0v$[email hidden]... > 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.

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.
