HELP: Recurring Spyware Alert

T

the outfitter

Help, I receive the following alert almost daily when I run a scan. I
'remove' but I continue to receive alerts similar to the one listed below.

Is this a bug, or a 'real' spyware alert?
Additionally, I have recently been receiving the 'blue screen of death' for
unknown reasons. When I upload to MSFT it says that its a possible driver
corruption issue. Related?

I am running XP on a dual proc PIII 600 w/ 1/2G RAM.

Thanks!
Erik
