I've got the same problem for a while, but just couldn't figure out why this "myname@~~local~~" always shown while I'm using P2P software. I've tried to delete all the cookies and temp files, but not long this cookie will show up again. Besides, while I was trying to delete the temp file, there are one or 2 files that associated with this local thing will automatically delete them selfves before I hit the delete key. It seems like they are very "intelligent" spyware. Hopefully someone knows the way to remove it/them. Brian
