The box that appears says:

'Spybot-S&D reports that you want a download "DoubleClick". This is a well known threat. Do you want to BLOCK this download?'

Yes or No

Hey honey...

I'd say click yes... and then download "Adaware SE Personal" - and remove this spybot thing it sounds real annoying...

Yes or No
Do you want to BLOCK this download? YES!

Don't be to alarmed, it's just a "tracking" cookie, one we don't like, 'armless enough, but we don't want it on our PCs.

SpybotS&D is the same as Ad-Aware SE ... different company ... I don't use SBS&D but maybe some who does can tell you have to stop it "asking silly questions" and just do its work.

Hopefully you are also using Microsoft Anti-Spyware, this will help catch the 'bad guys' as well, and we need to be using SpywareBlaster too. This, in conjunction with your Antivirus, should give you reasonable protection.

I've never had Spybot ask me that,

Update it and then hit the "immunize" button, and then hit the button with the green + sign on it that says Immunize on the screen that appears.
