Do you mean security stuff from Cobalt, or the product called "Security
Package Version 3.00"?

If the latter, be sure to contact them before wiping your system to
avoid having to pay for a reinstallation.  Neither this package nor any
other security package should be put on a system before the hack is
cleaned off... it just gives you a false sense of security and most
likely won't keep the hacker from coming back.
