I used a different whois and got more information. I suggest that you try that. There is one on the DomainMonger site under 'links'. The information that you have posted for 'errorguard.com' does not appear to be a valid whois entry. I'd consider it a bit iffy if anyone posted my Domain Name information on the Internet. What are you trying to achieve? Cheers, Cliff
Good question. There have been a few cross posted posts about various support issues due to spyware. I think the OP needs to look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375
Registration (whois) details of a domain are publiclly available . over the last few year a few companies got around this rule for .com's (can't be done for .nz) and started running "privacy registries" which people hide behind. If you have .nz you have to follow the .nz rules have put your contact name/address down when registering the domain and you can't hide (if you put down false/non-real details you might find soon that your domain may get cancelled) But coming down, if you think something has done wrong go to the police and they can get this information in legal ways.
