mail.mar or mail.man

[Bob]

MS Antispyware popped up this message IE Trusted aite
trying to be added. Trusted Site: //@mail.mar@ or
@mail.man@ (hard to read if letter is r or n but believe
it to be r). Did a search and found references to mail
followed by mar or man. I have no idea as to the site.
Any ideas if this is to be a trusted site?

You may spot this in the Internet Explorer Local Intranet Zone (under
control panel->Security->Local Intranet->Sites->Advanced).

If you browse to that location, you'll find it starts Money. A couple of
examples of it's use are:

money://@surf.mar@/investing.htm

money://@surf.mar@/ols_accttype.htm?{7F136766-E2F1-43D7-9405-9529D9799376}

Because Money is built on IE, these appear to be mechanisms within the
program to launch pages from within itself, and it's not because something
external has infiltrated your machine.

You can delete the entry, but I have found that if you do so, it can
reappear when running Money again.

A similar item "//@signup.mar@" can also be displayed when running Money
(this has been witnessed in anti-spyware tools). This also seems to be part
of Money, but related more to login type procedures.

If you are running something that involves Passport--Money, or Hotmail, this
is alert should be OK to say yes to.

Thanks for the response as I run all three of those
products.
