Is there a Windows AntiSpyware forum -- I can't seem to find one.

This isn't exactly what you are asking for, but, it is a good read to keep
you away from malware/adware/spyware sites purporting to be legit.

Windows AntiSpyware is no more! Long Live Windows Defender? Windows
Live Defender?

It's just another MS Beta Product.

Between MS & Google, there may never be a product that is not a BETA in
perpetuity!

The reason I ask is because I'm using Windows AntiSpyware and it gave a pop-up I didn't know how to respond to.

How am I supposed to know what program is involved when I get this warning from the Windows AntiSpyware Notice:
"An Internet Explorer Web browser object requires your approval."

I got a choice to "Allow" or "Block" -- at first I chose Block, but then I get another warning that said something about things not working if I did that, so I chose Allow. I didn't know if it was an Earthlink Tool Bar update or what? How do I tell what it is?

Already I can see that my font settings have been changed!

You should have blocked it. CWShredder might get rid of your browser hijack.

Personally, I prefer Spywareguard for that sort of thing, being as it
isn't in BETA and is tried and true.

Maybe I over-reacted to the apparent font change -- that was apparently
something to do with message received.
