MTBS.EXE

[Guest]

Since updating MSN Messengerto 6.2, my download manager
(Fresh Download) tries to download MTBS.EXE almost every
time a new page is opened in Explorer. How can I stop
this from happening

Have you run a spyware and adaware program to rid your computer of this problem

Yes, Spybot did not detect anything. The file is being
downloaded from Microsoft and is used in the setup of MSN
Messenger. Whether messenger is trying to install itself
silently or the file is needed for running messsenger and
is being consistently misplaced, I cannot tell. Loading
the file again does not stop the download requests. The
requests seem to be timed as well as they can occur when
no keys are being pressed (but MS explorer open)

Try uninstalling MSN Toolbar.
