Hey kj that's good information. I use spybot and Adaware on my machines at work and at home. Gotta clean off all the cookies daily. Those cookies do not get ahold of your email address, however. All they do is provide information to ad companies about browsing habits. They are most likely a result of some of the banner and side ads, but not by bigfishtackle directly. Cookies are simply small text files. You would need to be infected with something much worse for someone to log keystrokes, or to mine out your email address. One thing you might want to consider, however, is to not have your email address display in your profile. Make it say, kj at something.com instead of [url "mailto:kj@something.com"]kj@something.com[/url].
That way, automated web crawlers will not find your email address.
Later.
