Hi Jerry,
What you're seeing is Spybot-SD Resident in action. There should be an icon
in the System Tray (by the clock) for it. Right click the icon and place the
mouse pointer on "Resident IE" and in the menu that appears you can select
from three choices how you want it to behave. You want it to block the bad
guys so don't disable it by unchecking "Use Resident in IE sessions".
Continue to update SpyBot and Ad-Aware and run them on a regular basis but
don't expect them to find anything the SD-Resident has blocked from
downloading.

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!
Jerry
