Subject: Netflip is a virus - Warning: STAY AWAY FROM NETFLIP.

NetFlip has infected my computer. It is like a virus. I recommend you don't go anywhere near this site. It replaces the default search page on all browsers so that it's windows pop up whenever you type in a non-active URL. It then spawns many more windows until your computer crashes. And I have still not been able to get rid of it. To further clarify: when you type in an address that does not go to any web site, normally you are forwarded to the default Microsoft search page. After Netflip has infected your computer, you will NOT be forwarded to the default Microsoft search page but to the Netflip and it's multiple windows will pop up and crash your computer. And I am not talking about it changing your home page which can be easily reset - I am talking about it changing the underlying "url not found" default search page. I recommend you STAY AWAY FROM NETFLIP.
If anyone can help me, please contact me at "jkl@dr.com".
Microsoft and Gateway support couldn't do anything for me and I am think of sueing this rogue company. I have tried reinstalling Explorer to no avail. It also infects Netscape (all versions).
God help you if you even access the Netflip site (and I am still hoping God will help me).
Sincerely,
Dr. John Lowe
