Odd Ad-aware report - blank page

[Maureen Goldman]

Strange, just doublechecked on my system (win98SE), a .gif as my homepage,
nothing in the ignore list and ad-aware doesn't find anything. Could it have
to do anything with the file-extension (me using a.gif, you using a .jpg) ?
Or are you actually affected with something ?

Okay, I put in a randon .gif file as my homepage, no problem with
Ad-Aware (both about:blank and a .jpg file brought up the Angry
Spider). For what it's worth, though, I did just bring in AA's most
recent update this afternoon. So I'd need to test the .jpg and blank
again to see if the same "possible malware" result occurs. My feeling
is that I'm not afflicted with anything.

I'm using XP, by the way.

Updated Ad-aware, no problem with .gif and .jpg, but about:blank brought up
the two warnings again
