Have you installed some Spyware in your default WINEPREFIX or an infected application? What did you install anyway?? [Laughing] You can delete all your installed Windows applications in the default WINEPREFIX with: Code: rm -Rf ~/.wine Surely that would solve the problem - no? BTW Q4Wine (http://sourceforge.net/projects/q4wine/) is a useful Qt GUI utility that groups all the Wine associated processes running on your system together by WINEPREFIX. It's in the Ubuntu repositories. Bob
