Browsing is a frustrating experience right now, as the following message
appears on a blank window after the page disappears, "This webpage has
generated an error", and the addy appears to be errorplace.com<followed by a
bunch of numbers>doubleclick. Anyone else seen this? All patches up to
date here, including those for Norton, and ZoneAlarm. Have run Spybot
Search&Destroy, PCPitstop, and BigFix; to no avail. This is indeed my
folly, Holly
See if these programs help.

You *MUST* update the program before running to make sure it has the latest
definitions.
If you have not installed the latest version of the SpyBot you can do so
here.
Note: There are new definitions released early yesterday, so if you have a
problem updating the SpyBot, try the other mirror sites on the update
location dropdown. Then running it again.
