Blocking the iWon Co-Pilot

[Andrew Mutch]

The latest annoyance to travel across our Internet workstations is the iWon
Co-Pilot.  Like the Comet Cursor, it uses ActiveX in IE to install itself, which
may bypass your local security measures.  On Netscape Navigator/Communicator, it
requires the user to grant permissions to install but that sure doesn't stop the
patrons from saying "Yes!".  If you have encountered this problem and want to
put a stop to these shenanigans, see these help pages:
