I was on Myspace when an alert popped up about sights I had visited. I did
not recognize any sights. The product was Drivecleaner from
drivecleaner.com. Is this spam? I placed it blocked in my settings.

Thank you;
David

DriveCleaner is a rogue antispyware and is itself malware. A good place
to check these things out is MVP Eric Howes's page here:

Although your subject line indicates that IE was hijacked, I gather from
the body of your message that IE was not hijacked and you are not
infected. If that isn't correct, you can remove DriveCleaner by finding
the removal instructions here:
