I get this error/Yes-No choice message which I think is bogus - or
worse than bogus:

Spybot S&D reports that you want to download "Avenue A Inc" This
is a known threat. Do you want to BLOCK this download?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

P.S. I use Windows ME.

Avenue A is a tracking cookie. You have instructed Spybot to warn you
of these things; it is doing its job. No, it's not bogus.

I'm guessing that you are running the latest version (1.3). If you have the
Spybot icon in your system tray (bottom right of your taskbar, near the time
display), right click on it, highlight "Resident IE", then tick "Block bad
pages silently", This will block all spyware without asking you.

I have Resident "SDHelper" checked,
but not Resident "TeaTimer". There is no
Spybot icon in my system tray. How do I
get Spybot to block bad pages silently?
Should I also be using Teatime? I have
windows Xp.

For 1.2 (which I still run) one of the 'immunise' options is 'block
silenty' (sic!). Try that.
 
Thanks. That was where the silent option was.
I also discovered that the blocked list was out of date.

No, I wrote 'silenty', which is what the program actually says. Anyway,
glad it helped. You might want to update to 1.2 though - I just did, and
it has several new detections, as well as spelling 'silently' right.
 
I have version 1.3 now. My Outlook Express spell
checker didn't like silenty at all.

I'm glad you figured out that I meant to type '1.3'. OE is a hunk o junk
(it doesn't trim my .sig(nature) on your replies, it inserts your
replies ahead of what you are replying to, it has more bugs and
loopholes than I can begin
to enumerate, so why not get something (anything) better to use.

I use Spywareblaster which recognizes my old Firebird and doesn't
need to 'run'. With FB, I've never needed any other 'resident'
protection running. That is why I prefer FB over IE.

I'll second using OE-QuoteFix. If places the cursor at the bottom like some
of the 'better' programs, and also makes reading the newgroups easier as it
colors the different threads so they 'stand' out and are easier to follow.
Anyone using O.E. should at least give this program a try, and by the way,
it is FREE.
