Jeff have you determined yet why the icon is there, what's it for? Is it there all the time? Have you checked the "Start Up" folder for anything that shouldn't be there, and the "Start up" tab in Msconfig? Can you tell from where this icon is trying to d'load something? Check your firewall logs, open them, click the icon, then see where it's trying to communicate. If that doesn't work, shut down your net connection, then let it try and d'load, and see if you get a timed-out message, it may state then timed-out to where. -Clint
Happy New Year & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" Thanks Elaine. I recently did an XP update from M$ site. I did forget to mention, I ran Adaware, Spybot and Trend Micro and they only found a few minor things. I followed the prompts in the red rectangle up to the point where it asked to download something, but the program didn't appear to be a M$ program, so I cancelled. During the update downloads, one was labeled as the M$ spyware program, but I can't find it under program files. Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "ETM" When the Microsoft AntiSpyare program is active there is a round red circle in your tray (red, yellow, blue, is that like a bulls eye?). There was a recent update on my PC, it involved giving me another six months of the beta and updating the signature files. If you set in the program for automatic scans, it should scan at the times you set in. If you set it for manual scans, then you should bring up the program and tell it to scan. I suspect the block might have been the automatic updater, but I don't know what is on your system. Have you done any AV or spy/mal/ad-ware scans? Elaine Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? --Clarence Darrow Hello Jeff On Friday, January 13, 2006, you wrote > I keep getting a red window lower left corner > near the taskbar stating I have sp*ware. > If I click next, it tries to download something. > Is this part of the new Windows sp*yware > program?
