This Web Accessory available from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/tbw
lpapr.mspx is incorrectly identified by MS Antispyware
as 'GonnaSearch Toolbar'. I may be 'not support' by
Microsoft, but it's surprising that something available
on their own website is targetted by their own software.

PS, It does now mention on the Web Accessories page that
they are for use only with IE5, but they do work fine
with IE6 as I've been installing them as a matter of
course for years as I find them very useful (apart from
the toolbar wallpaper, which I just happened to have
still installed on my Windows 2000 machine), especially
things the Web Developer Accessories 'view partial
source' command.
 
Thanks for the report--this isn't the first Microsoft app that's been
flagged by this product. Of course, it started out as a third-party product
before Microsoft bought the technology.

False positives are a significant problem with any anti-spyware app--thanks
for the report.
