Hi Don,
Its hard to comment as we dont know what it was that caused the alert, Did
it happen just once or just after you installed something or has it happened
a few times?
Try opening MS Antispy then going to Tools on the top bar then 'Real Time
Protection' and open 'View Security Agent Events' or ' View All Blocked
Events' if you decided to block it , does it give information in there of
what tried to add a start up entry?
If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any
BHO's that you don't recºgnize.
You can also use the System Explorers in Microsoft Antispyware to look at
BHO's and block them--it also shows known and unknown fºr BHO's..

About your Favorites: Other than that, I'm about out of ideas, so good luck
with it. Let us know maybe someone else can conjure up something else to
try. Remenber we are volunters and this NG have smart helpers, but they have
Familys or other jobs, so soon o later, somebody can give you a better
solution.
Good luck
