An Unknown Internet Explorer Web Browser Requires Approval

Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected an Internet Explorer
Web Browser trying to be added. A Web Browser is a
program inserted into Internet Explorer that gives the
program full control over Internet Explorer.


Advise: While this is not a known spyware threat, you
might want to analyze this program before either allowing
or blocking it.
--- end ---

The problem is that there is zero mention in the dialog
the name of the file that is is triggering this alert.
How can I analyze the program when there is no indication
of the file name?
 
are you using any 3rd party applications for IE?

Click to expand...

a few, and by using the Manage Addons tool I can work out
what is going on.

My pount was more along the lines of "this error message
is useless." Tell me the name of the DLL/EXE/whatever
that is being added. give me some information in the
error to actually help me make an informed decision.

The popup provides zero informtation to help make a
decision.
 
I agree with you. This has been mentioned by others, and I hope the
developers will take note and see if this can be improved.
