My knowledge is very limited here. The AOL spyware program activated and when I clicked on details, I received the information I posted. The item was identified as a Trojan horse virus but that too may be a generic classification since spyware would technically fall within the definition of a Trojan horse.

The only other information I can add is that it is the first time I have ever had my anti-virus or spyware protection software activate on a posting from a government website and I have been on the Web since 1990.

Well, that's very, very odd that no one else gets any warning from that site. And yes, I'm running a full arsonel of spyware detection sw.
