    BHO being installed on Internet
    Hi. I'm not sure if this question has been asked. Every time I close the internet spyware pops up and says a BHO (browser helper object) is being intsalled on internet. Do you want to intall? I say block installation and then it asks me if I want to sweep. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Why do I keep getting this message? How do I know if this is a good thing or bad? I am assuming this is not a good thing because spyware will automatically block it if I don't.

    What Anti Spyware applications do you have installed?

    There are a number of common reasons things are trying to be installed:
    1) You are visiting an infected website.
    2) You are infected by adware, spyware, or some other infection that is connecting to, and attempting to install items from remote servers.
    3) You are using rogueware that is giving exaggerated reports.

    You may also want to provide any running process names, as this will help me identify what is causing the alerts.

    I need to clarify-I said every time I log off the internet "spyware" pops up. I meant to say "spy sweeper". We have webroot spy sweeper. Every single time I log off internet it says bho being installed. The name is IEEXPLORE.EXE. Is this what you're asking?

    IEEXPLORE.EXE
    If the path is something along the lines of: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieexplore.exe
    Then it is more than likely legit.

    If you happen to have a name of the BHO, that would help greatly.
    Do you have HijackThis?
    If so, please get me a log, it will help me ID BHO's

    Ieframe.dll is one of the application extensions that Internet Explorer Uses.

    Unless it's detecting any threats, sometimes a BHO can be considered any addons by common internet services, or anti-virus services.

    It may be detecting a change for your ISP or something.
    It's hard to tell without logs and everything.
