		By the time I did get rid of it I was so mad, I researched Xupiter and found out they were HQ'd in Hungary.
		I won't go into the specifics of what I told Xupiter, but will say I was checking airfare rates to Hungary, and said something about punching holes in people's heads with a claw hammer, and sucking skulls dry.
		Since then I have changed HDD's twice, filed a formal complaint against Xupiter with the FTC, and have learned quite a bit about Active X, java scripts, and how to configure ZA Pro with Norton AV/Firewall and actually have them work well together.

	Re: Xupiter
		I have heard that when you uninstall the xupiter program that if you do not go into the system and physically delete the files from the system it will generate pop-ups one right after another.
		I have also heard that if you do not remove the registry keys it will also try to access the page as a keyword search engine even after it is uninstalled.
		There is a registry key (I think) that will let you specify a search engine in IE that if you type a keyword in the address bar it will default to that engine to find the content you are looking for.

		Xupiter "infects" Microsoft Internet Exploder via the browser's automatic ActiveX installation feature when you visit certain Web sites.
		It adds unwanted bookmarks to their "Favorites" list, launches annoying "pop-under" ads, displays an unwanted toolbar in the browser window, and generally interferes with the user's work (not exactly the best way to win friends and influence people).
