I would appreciate some feedback.I just ran MS
AntiSpyware for the first time. The results detected
threats of varying risk. I would not like to remove any
of these without knowing if they are associated with a
site or program I need. I would appreciate advice about
how to trace.
I got two High-Risk threat items-
Transponder.ABetterInernet Adware
IBIS Toolbar Adware,
Do these high risk threats need to be removed
immediately?

Hi

Yes, if MSAS can manage to remove these real pests.

Everything recognised are malware and can safely be removed.

Except if you are running Kazaa and have music within "My shared
folder",
first move your music to a new folder out of Kazaa.
 
Definitely, they need to be removed, both Transponder.ABetterInernet Adware
& IBIS Toolbar Adware are two of the most annoying spyware users in the
newsgroups have encountered.

Here are some solutions that are known to help with removal also:
Download CCleaner and remove all temporarily junk.
