An interesting problem

Is it possible that this software you installed place a 'Web Bug' on your PC? Try a google search for a scanner and scan your machine.

To answer your registry question.... YES!! Unisntalling software will not always remove all the registry settings ( I can think of several including some from M$ ).

This is plain annoying, isn't it? As for the 'Web Bug', first I've ever heard of something like that. What kind of scanner would I be looking for on google?

And yes, I agree mmelby, that sometimes the registry isn't totallty cleaned. Be again how can the server be using a registry entry on my machine to identiy it over a network?

For Web Bugs, your looking for something likeBugnosis

I personally have never used this product so I can't give you an opinion pro or con.

If you are running a PIII, I know there is a unnique serial number embedded in the chip to 'uniquely identify your computer to websites'. I don't know if the P IV has one. It could be used to block access to a specific machine, among other things. I know Intel was forced to include an option to disable it, but I don't know how.

Another idea, it could be your computer name. Have you tried changing it yet?
