I have 3 different machines in two locations that started showing this
warning the same day. Notice that it does not indicate what program
generated the warning. Is this some new exploit going around? Has anyone
else seen this?

Hi Richard

What is the warning, Is it shown by using the TeaTimer
protection or by scanning ?

Regards

Andy
 
Hi Andy. It pops up as a separate window upon starting SpyBot S&D. After you
close the window, Spybot initiates. It seems strange that 3 different
computers got this abnormality at the same time, within hours of each other.

Spybot runs normally on each computer and I have no idea what would have
changed the program.

Sorry Richard, Ive tried removing Spybot and re-
installing but it doesnt open any additional pop up
windows when it starts. It is strange you had 3 computers
showing this popup but without seeing it or the contents
its hard to understand why this is there

Maybe worth posting this over at Net-Integration and
seeing if anyone from Team Spybot can help
