oh no - it installs and then tells you that it has installed. it's a service for webmasters - to allow them to have their own "cute" cursor.

set your internet settings to ask before installing anything via active-x.. still annoying to hit "no" but at least you wont have to go around deleting stuff.

comet cursor is actually spyware in disguise. I read a big article on this and also adaware had a nice piece on this.If ad-aware says its bad then it must be shitty..

That thing drives me fucking crazy. It seems like most people that are using it are on geocities, etc. Strictly a newbie thing in my opinion.
