I am using the Microsoft AntiSpyware on my XP machine.
Why does Microsoft give me the following security pop-ups when I boot up --
since the pop-up says it is a MS product? Are these items OK/legit? IE 6
on Win XP seems to work even though I blocked them.
1.
Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected an Internet Explorer Bar trying to be
added. Explorer Bars are plugins for Internet Explorer that give the program
full control over Internet Explorer.
Name: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
Description: Shell Doc Object and Control Library
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Path: c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll
Advise: While this is not a known spyware threat, you might want to analyze
this program before either allowing or blocking it.

2.
Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected a Windows Shell Browser trying to be
added. A Shell Browser is a toolbar that is inserted into Window's Explorer
or Internet Explorer giving it control over your computer.
Name: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
Description: Shell Browser UI Library
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Path: c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll
Advise: While this is not a known spyware threat, you might want to analyze
this program
Thanks for any insight!
