    Spysweeper blocked the following: 131.107.115.28

    Is there any way of finding out who or what this potentially spyware site is?

    I just had this happen first time ever today. Got the same message from spysweeper on my HP dv6000 laptop running Vista which is wireless connection, and on my son's HP desktop running XP, less than 5 minutes apart . My 4 year old was hollering cause it poped up on him, I went to help him and when I came back my computer had the same message.

    Is august 26 the predetermined date for microsoft to dump tracking **** on all systems???? Conspiracy theory 1000
