Re: spybot question
Looks like it:
a) Blocked an ActiveX spyware control
b) Blocked a dodgy cookie

Dunno, you could already have that spyware somewhere on your system.
I'm no IE expert any more but I believe some spyware hijacks your browser to overlay their (different) ads on websites.

Re: spybot question
Try manually removing Spybot's blocking, and then reimmunise your PC.
In IE...
Tools... Internet Options... [Privacy] Click "Edit" Click "Remove all"
Tools... Internet Options... [Security] Click "Restricted sites" Click "Sites" Remove all the sites
Sometimes the lists get sort of corrupted.

I just tried it with v1.3 of Spybot as well as the new v1.4 - no problems, though, sorry Paul - however, I only had 'teatimer' on, not the IE bad site blocker tool.

Re: spybot question
Loaded fine here with all protection in place. Have you anything else installed that might be working in tandem with or interfering with Spybot? I take it you updated to 1.4, did you do a clean install or over the top as there were warnings that it could cause problems (no details though )

Re: spybot question
Yeah - when I access the site, the zone is "mixed" and several cookies are blocked, including the one in Paul's screenshot. Methinks something is amiss with Spybot. Remove it completely and manually remove the protection, then reinstall. Not using SpywareBlaster too?

Re: spybot question
Have you made sure zone alarm isn't interfering too? I had a similar problem with certain sites that tried to flood your system with cookies, seems sometimes if a page tries to throw too much junk at you the protective tools kick in and give up trying to control it and block it completely instead lol
