Tiger Shark, thank you for your rapid assistance. I revisited the sites using Firefox, ran AdAware again, nothing found...good news, if I read your post correctly.

For my own education, a couple of additional questions, if I may? As I understand this, then, even if these malware programs were capable of logging information, the fact that I was in Firefox and not operating in IE6 would have made them a non-threat? In the future, if I need to use IE6 for something, it will run the risk of exposing Firefox to the spyware/adware or no?

Once again, thanks for taking the time to assist.
