I had the same problem. I had the Google toolbar installed in the
browser. I just happened to to uninstall it and I did not get that
message again.
It may also work with other installed toolbars. Try it
Let us know if it works.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
