Hi Jerry,
You probably DO want to block Avenue A. Apparently, when you ran SpyBot, you activated the 'Immunize' function (which blocks things like 'Avenue A'). What you didn't do was check 'block all bad pages silently'. You have 'ask for blocking confirmation' checked. Open SpyBot and click on Immunize. The blocking choices are at the bottom of the page. Change to the 'silent' option.
This should stop the questions.

Subject: Avenue A, Inc.
My wife's computer (XP Home, SP1) recently started getting the message
"Spybot-S&D reports that you want to download "Avenue A, Inc.". This is a
known threat. Do you want to BLOCK this download?" when she opens IE6. She
selects Yes (to block) and can surf normally except for a few sites where
the message appears again.
I've run Spybot and Ad-Aware SE Personal (both current with latest
definitions) to no avail. Any ideas? Should we allow the download then run
Spybot & Ad-Aware?
Thanks!
