I have just installed spywareguard as suggested by someone in my other post about my spyware problem. Do I need the little logo by the clock or can I disable that in my start up? Also in the newest version of spybot I have something called tea timer in the start up, can I uncheck that? Happy AOL user for 4yrs.

There have been memory leaks associated with Tea Timer. Spybot's developers are aware of the problem and are working to fix it. It performs much the same function as SpywareBlaster (preventing malware from getting into your PC; Tea Timer monitors the registry). But if you've installed SpywareBlaster, we'd recommend turning off the Tea Timer. We, too, run SpywareGuard. As far as we can tell, turning off the SG logo near the clock will also turn off Spyware Guard. Best to leave it. Beer, Barbeque, Best movies in South Tampa

Mary, To your initial question, something you might try, to see if it makes a difference. Clean your temporary internet files (clear), and then go into the security setting for IE, and Disable "Active Scripting". Then return to the page in question, and see, if what you experienced before, returns. I didn't see anything, you described, but then, I might be setup and running things different then yourself. In fact, I know I Am ;-)

P.S. Yes, that is from the site you linked. It's in their source c.... by scripting. Good Luck

Disabling the active scripting did the trick for that site, the pop up has gone away but now when I log into computing.net I get a white screen with a message that says attempting to log in click here, does that have to do with disabling the active scripting? I will see if disabling that makes a difference on other sites now. Happy AOL user for 5yrs.

Mary, "...but now when I log into computing.net I get a white screen with a message that says attempting to log in click here, does that have to do with disabling the active scripting?" ;-) That would be yes, to your question. You don't have to leave it "Disabled", was just going at it, from the ground up, instead of starting at the heavens. As I said, I went back and checked the source, of the site, and indeed it was caused by that. <<My response #3. If you leave it disabled, a lot of things/features, on sites won't work. Some sites, won't work at all :-) Good Luck, S.T.A.R.

Thank you, I guess that sited added the script a few weeks ago. Maybe it's the same for other sites and they have added the scripts. It was making me think I had some hidden spyware. I am going to book mark every site it happens on in the future and check into this. Happy AOL user for 5yrs.
