I just upgraded to Windows 7, 3 days ago, and Avira 10 got the
warning. Just tried it again and no warning.

The "real" test would be to see if Webroot Spy Sweeper would catch it.
The best anti-spyware / adware / malware tool on the market...IMHO.

Windows 7 doesn't support my current version of SS, so I don't know if
it would have caught it or not.

As soon as I get W7 configured the way I want it (PITA from W XP) I
will subscribe to a newer version of SS.

I still get warnings from everywhere on pricegrabber, but ignore them.
Hopefully not a problem ...

ActiveX and Flash are two completely different things.
Like apples and fish.

Reposting non-credible information is hazardous to your health.
Reposting in general is about as annoying as ants in your shorts.
