It's probably something in the ads. They're very annoying for spyware. Most is harmless though (from ads)

they wont necessarily be down to GR-in fact almost certainly wont be-spyware is sent out to monitor internet activity- most if not all genealogical sites are prone to this because of the numbers of viewers

Heather, Is this programme called Spy Blaster or SpywareBlaster? I have the second one and it doesn't alert me to anything. You need to be careful with some of these spyware programmes because they are often spyware themselves. Cheers, Horatia

I have a new spy blaster program on my computer and every time I come on here it tells me there are three spy programs which it blocks. Does anyone know what these are and what GR use them for please?
