I would think if it was "normal" for spybot to add that, then others on here
would have seen it come up. I always read those BHO's were bad, so avoided
adding them but I guess some are good. When I did not add it, it froze up
everything with an error (x). For now I just decided not to install the
program on my uncles' computer even though it is working fine on mine. He
just had his computer totally cleaned out by a shop to start from scratch, I
am being very careful in putting programs on there now.
