Hi:

Things have seemed very quiet on my computer until two days ago when I downloaded new drivers for my Epson Printer. Since then when I start my machine, I get a notice that "Search from Spigot, Inc." was prevented from changing my browser settings. I use AVG Free for my protection (it does not show any virus, etc.). I did find a folder named, "Spigot" in "Common." I also disabled IE8.

I don't engage in an odd web browsing behavior; no per to peer, none of that. No idea where this came from.

Can you help me take care of Spigot and anything else that shouldn't be here? I follow direction.

Thank you,
Cypher Admin/Teacher
