Though I don't think this is the immediate problem make sure that a firewall
is also protecting the computer and network. You also want to double check
your security zone and privacy settings for Internet Explorer for the user.
The internet zone should be set at medium or higher and for privacy you also
want medium or higher. While in privacy make sure that pop up blocker is
enabled, than there are no unwanted sites are listed in settings, and that
the pop blocker level is at least medium and you may want to try high. Also
check that there are no unwanted sites in the trusted web content zone. Go
into Control Panel/add and remove programs to make sure no unwanted programs
are shown there as spyware will sometimes be listed though AdAware SE, etc
usually remove them and of course make sure that you are using the latest
definition files for any program you scan with. If you still need more help
below is a Google search of OHPE Ver 4.12_23 that you can use to see how
others are dealing with that spyware problem. --- Steve
