    Is it possiable for old info on your computer to show up on a new hard drive? I was having problems with the old one so I swaped it out and found spyware on it already along with ebay stuff. Along with casino. Anything I can do or should have done?

    Also, it's not hard to collect spyware if you aren't careful. Try downloading and running these programs to get rid of it:
