When searching Spybot warns that it is blocking Avenue A and I can't search
a lot of sites. Thanks, Eileen |

Try scanning your disk if that's the case. (the full scan not just "immunize") If that doesn't fix it could you post an example of a webpage that is being blocked?... try to pick one that doesn't contain alot of moving images or frames and stuff, please.

Eileen, I would say Spybot S&D is doing its job. You probably wouldn't like to visit those sites, I surely wouldn't. If you really, really, want to visit those site (at your own risk, of = course) uninstall Spybot S&D. Zee "Eileen" wrote in message = ...

Actually there are a no. of otherwise innocuous sites that use the AvenueA
cookie. Personally I feel that the only reason to avoid such sites is *because* they use third-party tracking cookies and insist you accept them. There is no reason to uninstall Spybot S&D. The AvenueA blocking (in this case) is done by the real-time bad download blocking component (S&D Helper? As opposed to Tea Timer) and it should be disabled (permanently, IMO. With Spybot S&D I see no need for any more than unchecking all in *Ignore products* and hitting Immunise in *Immunise*. Spywareblaster does a better job at other blocking and even there I see no need for more than just hitting *enable all protection*). Shane "oops!!" wrote in message ...

She didn't ask how to get rid of malware, Eileen posted a statement, not a question.

A quick Google (k I actually use AltaVista but that's not a verb yet)
seems to show it as being present in such sites as MSN, etc. While MSN is sortof on my "do not visit" list, I'd hardly consider it a "shady" site. Depends where you draw your line. I like to draw mine at originator, ie: any site I visit can set cookies, but not secondary sites. Rick Shane wrote: Actually there are a no. of otherwise innocuous sites that use the AvenueA cookie.
