I just clicked on the link you sent and went straight to the page and wasn't
asked if I wanted to download anything. Am using the same OS as you too.
I've also just spent the weekent flushing spyware from my system, although
McAfee is running and I regularly run Spybot I've had several trojans
worming their way into my system which were picked up by Microsoft's
anti-spyware application - not accessible and oh how ironic to have to rely
on MS for beefing up security with their excellent track record!
It might be worth running another anti-spyware tool and see if that sheds
any more light on unwanted programs lurking in your system - think I'm
getting way to paranoidd - I'm getting hit after looking at a few sites and
not even downloading anything.
