Hi Dave,

Are you all aware that "Avenue A" (a known spyware threat) tries to download whenever one views the home page?

I imagine it is coming from one or more of the ads there and, since I only see ads on the home page, I would imagine others get the download on other pages.

Just FYI, as I use Spybot and it blocks the download.

greg.
