If your talking about a little troll looking guy holding a sign that has your ISP, etc. info, don't worry about it. It's just a signature. I forgot the website that invented that sig, but you are the only one that can view this information. The info is not reported to anyone other than you. This signature is just a neat little trick to get your machine to tell you info you already know. This is not violating the integrity of your system or your information in any way. I, along with many others, freaked out a little bit when I first saw the signature, but I assure you it's nothing to worry about. He doesn't some around much any more, but if you want a complex explanation of what the sig is doing and how you could ask Sir D?????....his exact username is SirDrachir.

Sir D has a real life in the real world. He writes books and subcontracts to companies like ZoneAlarm and Symantec. I would imagine someone with his skills is pretty popular. Sir D is pretty high profile in the real world due to his many talents. If we could just get him to focus his expertise on cracking the P4 we'd be set! ...well maybe anyway :)

Check your PM midwest.
