"Avenue A, Inc" ???

Hi,
When I am checking my email I keep getting a message that says 'Spybot reports that you want to download "Avenue A, Inc" this is a known threat do you want to block this download. I click yes but as I move thru my email it keeps popping up. I also did a file search on "avenue A, Inc" and found it exists in almost all my files. Has any one seen this before, my AV does not pick anything up
Thanks Baz

 

I only see that when Spybot blocks popup ads when I'm using IE at work. I say it must be popup related as I never see it using Mozilla at home. Are you using some type of webmail? Spybot can be set to "silently block" such stuff so you don't have to bother with the dialog.

 

Yes, I've scanned wiyh spybot and ad aware they have found nothing, how do I silently block this pest in spybot, the popup only appears when i'm using Hotmail,
Thanks Baz

Thanks I hope someone can identify some problem from all of this.

 

Hi ,

No luck with those methods, I turned off system restore and scanned with everything, Avast came back clear but told me it was unable to scan some files as the zip archive is corrupted. How do I configure spy bot to block silently as now i am being asked by Spy bot if I want to block "double click" I select yes but on my next move I get asked again and again, arghhh. and yes that is my email company. Pardon my ignorance but im not sure about a proxy server, I don't know what one is.
Thanks again
Baz

 

to make spybot block silently, run spybot and click on immunize and look at the bottom. it probably says 'Display dialog while blocking' or 'ask for blocking confirmation' just change that to 'Block bad pages silently' and that should solve ur problem..

 

Thanks for all the advice, things are now back to normal.

Thanks again
Baz
