A Real Quandry...............

Sypbot suggests downloading JavaCool spyware, but when I clicked on JavaCool and then clicked on their recommended download site (majorgeeks.com), a spybot window (Ave. A) came up saying that this site was unsafe for downloading..................what do I do now?

Hope this helps.

Hey ad4130,

The Avenue A item Spybot is referring to is a third-party cookie and by no means will that item cause anything to happen to your PC. When\If you go back to Major Geeks site and your presented with that Spybot pop-up....it's referring to the Avenue A cookie and do you want to block the cookie....answer No and you then should be able to procede on with the actual SpywareBlaster download. This will continue on many sites not only with Avenue A but any 3rd party cookies(Doubleclick....etc) as long as your using Spybots Resident IE helper feature.
