Gordon,

It's spyware, and is served by a variety of websites. Spybot S&D
<http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download> blocks it for me.

If you're objecting to the repetitive "bad download blocked" messages coming
from SSD (as I was in the beginning), set SSD to block silently (as I did).

Gordon, please don't contribute to the spread and success of email address
mining viruses. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a
bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the
internet - never post your address unmunged.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
 
Thank you for your resonce. I can not figure out how to "block silently" I
have looked all over. Can you give me a clue please.
As to email address I appreciate your comment and am figuring out how to do
that thanks

Gordon,

On the Spybot S&D - Immunize panel, you have an entry for "Browser Helper to
block bad downloads" (may be slightly different for V1.2 which I don't have any
more). Pulldown options are Ask, Block silently, and Display dialogue. You
need to select "Block all bad pages silently".

Cheers,
Chuck
