Spyware?

How come every time I open a page at the website my internet security pops a window up that tells me theres Spyware and to close my browser ASAP?

Am I the only one getting this? It just started today for me.

It sounds like time to run your anti-sypware and antivirus programs.

I've run all my spyware and anti virus software and still get this popping up. I think there's more to these ever changing advertisments than most people think.

GearHd6,
It is interesting that with the 3 different computers that I use to login here, I do not have the problems that you are.
Nor have I seen anyone else rushing to add 'Me too' to this thread.
Are you getting this message when going to other sites?

Did your spyware program "hit" on anything when you did it off line? I run Goggle's "PC Tools Spyware Doctor" with no problems. Clearing cookies, etc... seems to help me also.

When I ran my Ad-Aware program it didnt get any hits but I do run it fairly often.

I go on quite a few other message board sites whether it be motorcycle, snowmobile or vehicle related and that Warning does not pop up on any of those sites. I'll try the Google program like mentioned above and see if that makes a difference. But is does seem odd to me that it's only happening here. Maybe i'm the only one with Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security and has that feature turned on?
