  Cat,
  
  My logs show you have a hijacker or adware running.
  Are you aware of: FunWebProducts?.

  I think adaware may catch it.. not sure. Update it first.
  
  I noticed alot of “FunWebProducts” (FWP) appearing in my access log – user agent strings lately. Like this: “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)” Only noticed it tagged to you so far Cat. It’s not a really dangerous spyware, but still, it is spyware.
  
  FWP (FunWebProducts) offer Smiley Central, PopSwatter, My Mail Signature, My Mail Stationery and My Mail Stamp, email “enhancers”. All of these enhancers have inbuilt adware or hijackers. The unsuspecting user suffers slow IE speed, tags on all email and it takes over their browser. It can also damage the Windows enviroment.
  
  If you use FunWebProducts I’d encourage you to remove it.
  
  For more info and removal:
