(Why does Drudge allow this? Everytime I visit his site the same garbage is put on my drive.)

I'm thinking it's probably not Drudge himself but his advertisers,the guys got to make a living.If you really want to be proactive Spybot S&D running in advance mode and WinPatroll can be configured to pick this stuff up on the fly and let you delete it as you go.Note these programs can be pretty annoying themselves as they pop up a window when ever a spybot or cookie is loaded on your machine.

Thank you both for your info. How come Drudge can't specify no pop-us or spyware from his advertisers? I don't get them from everybody - many come from his site until I don't want to visit it anymore. At any rate, I have Ad-aware but it doesn't seem to zap it on contact. That's what I want. I'll try installing another program.

There's a program called CleanCache that's very useful. If you have a lot of IE junk in folders, both AdAware and AVG will take years to go through there. Run this program, clean up temporary internet files, and it will fly through there.

For some reason, you can't go into Windows explorer and delete these files.
