    My Parents...

    ...insist on having Morpheus on the computer. I was cool with it, I don't care what the do. But now it has a little Icon that it keeps putting in the tray everytime you open a browser window. It's a little dollar sign that has the tooltip "Morpheus Shopping Club Status Meter" and I can't get rid of the damn thing.

    I hate Morpheus and wish it to burn.

    Morpheus Shopping Club...buy music and software online right

    So do you use your parents computer or what

    Try installing Ad-Aware..usually uninstalls all those nasty bits

    And tell them to try WinMX...spyware free and fast downloads and connect times
    I'm bringing geeky back...

    Yep, WinMX is great

    Direct Connect isn't bad either

    We only have one computer with internet access...

    I deleted Morpheus but that damn thing didn't go away. I had to go find it manually in the Windows\System folder.

    what's that got to do with anything? You can use more than one file sharing program at a time

    Stuck with ME until I can get a new harddrive and install Win2k. I finally got rid of it. I had to hunt down the file and delete it through DOS though.

    No, sadly there's not. It wasn't in the any startup either, registry, win.ini, startup folder, anything. It must have somehow been triggered when IE opened.

    But as I already said, I got rid of it.
