| Guest | Warning In IE7 - Spyware ?? Help :) Hi Group... IE7 is now showing a bar at the top with the following message in it... Warning: possible spyware or adware infection click here etc etc... This then tries to get me to download a program to clear the error. There are instructions and a program to use to clear this - but its all aimed at XP users not Vista.. Any help getting rid of this would be appreciated... |

Make a note of the name of the program that is giving you the "warning" and see if the removal instructions are here: Bleeping Computer removal how-to's - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum55.html If you don't see the name of the program there, come back and post it.
