Not very secure, jerenus, if you set up a user account (or accounts - I keep an extra one where I don't start all the stuff I start for my main account, for games etc) and use that/those for all your normal activities, it can reduce the damage to your system considerably if your machine gets compromised.

Anyway, what you could try is to download and install jv16 Power Tools - you can get the last freeware version from http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/index.html (link courtesy of homealone) or the current commercial version from http://www.macecraft.com/ . Fire it up, select the Registry Tools section, and look for and Remove any references to Broadband Headache. Then go to the Starting Programs section and, again, Remove any references to BBM. Delete any BBM folders in program Files, as well, but don't empty your recycle bin 'till you're sure that this hasn't adversely affected your system. You can also restore any registry entries you removed with it from jv16's backup facility.

Reboot, cross every digit you have, and maybe your system will now be Broadband Headache-free! And _don't_ reinstall it! ;-)
