Can't get it?
Feb 5, 2004 3:01AM PST

Went to the site, clicked: Scan my PC - and got a small window -Pest Scan - On Line Pest Scanner. This window contained a rectangle with a coloured square,circle and triangle inside a rectangle in the top left corner.
Something downloaded and I received a "done" message. However nothing appeared in the small window, although the large window was now headed: Scan results - How to interpret the Pest Scan.

As it uses ActiveX I activated all the ActiveX in my MS security options but still to no avail. Anyone any ideas what is going on.

I just tried it and the first thing I noticed is something about only for IE.
Does that fit?

The next thing I noticed (if your on d/u) is go make yourself a sandwich because it d/l's a bunch.

I get the same screen (squares/triangles etc.) until the d/l finishes.

When I ran the thing it told me I had 5-6 things in the reg that ad-aware didn't find,,big deal.

Suggestion, use ad-aware and or spy-bot.

I have IE so thats not the problem. I have both Adaware and Spybot,also Spyblaster so I think I will give it a miss.

Thanks Bob.
