I don't really have spyware, it is a generic pop up meant to look like the ie notification window. However I don't use internet explorer or microsoft so it is just kind of funny,
I don't know that there is any spyware for linux. :rainfro

In case you didn't know, good Ad-destroyers and spyware destroyers don't bombard your computer with spyware and ads.

To be even more ironic, a lot of these advertised spyware programs are spyware themselves.

You should have realised it when you see 'Mozilla Firefox' on the top and 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' below that. It's nice to see Internet Explorer is on there somewhere.*

That reminds me of the pop-ups I used to get that said "Tired of pop-ups? Download this pop-up blocker!"

Now that is ironic.
