***********************
If you search Google for 680180.net, it appears to be Spyware. You might
check some of the messages on Google re this subject to see if there are
recommendations for removal. But be careful not to actually go to the 680180.net site
- which Google also lists and caches. They are an advertising company and
might just slip a copy on your computer while you're there. Do you have the
latest updates to Spybot and Adware?
