Read your post,
Ok now lets pretend that you are someone else reading it, someone who
doesn't have a clue what is going on with your spysweeper program, ok,now do
you really think that that person has any clue to just what it is you are
talking about?

Alittle more detail just might get you that answer you are looking for.Or
you might try Webroots support page. Perhaps they have Psychics on their
payroll.

Hi, Spy-sweeper is on of those programmes which somehow gets onto a computer
and where the offer is for me to buy the tool to get rid of it ,this only
happens when I go onto Hotmail. I have deleted the cookies for Spy-sweeper
and Dr Protector and done a search of the registry with no result .What else
can I do. arty

Please Artysan

Make a screenshot of the pop-up and post it here (or a link to an image
hosting).
Give us, also, the complete URL used when going on Hotmail.

Formally, this is "SPY Sweeper", not "Spy-Sweeper".
Are you sure you are using the good one and not a crapware ?

Are you using the new free Spy Sweeper scanner only witch include a Ask
Jeeves toolbar ?
This is new
http://assiste.forum.free.fr/viewtopic.php?t=19298

What OS ?

What browser ?

ActiveX on or off ?

Wsh on or off ?

Java on or off ?

Nobody can help reading your post. Info needed.

Most important for me - "Dr Protector" ?
Well, I am the author of "La Crapthèque" (a collection and analyses of
pseudo security tools - crapwares)
static site at http://assiste.com.free.fr/p/craptheque/craptheque.html
and
dynamic news on http://assiste.forum.free.fr/viewforum.php?f=115

I never heard of "Dr Protector" or "Doctor Protector" or "DrProtector".
What it is ? A SoftWare ? Please, give me a link to download it. I
Google the world for it and did not find anything (except a female gel
and a CD/DVD 4Oz surface coating).

Be extremely precise in what you write.

This is what comes up when I click on the Hotmail button short cut. My
browser is IE7, OS is Windows XP pro,My activeX is on with Block on third
party cookies. Definately spy-sweeper and not SPY Sweeper. Only using
NOD32,Ad-aware ,Spybot and Windows anti-virus .No Jeeves toolbar. Pop up
blocker is on in IE7.
Appears problem has disappeared since I removed cookies for spy-sweeper and
Dr Protector. Tried to make it appear today for screenshot without success.
Thanks for your concern .If it happens again I will send another post.
