Block-Checker was in my registry( I placed it in a Holding File) until I learn more


I searched google and I dont completely understand this registry issue

This went to my windows 98se PC not my XP sp2 systems

Do you have any opinions?
Is it a good MSN feature?
Or is it a spyware infection?

Most of the Block CHecker references I find indicate it is adware.

I would remove it.

Last night Adware-MySearch
file deSrcAs.dll
was on my screen numerous times,
and I followed mcafee prompts to delete it
.............................

then today PUP notice
c:\systemVolumeInformation_restore {202550A8-7A33-4BCA-958 is a potentially unwanted program etc etc

remove or trust are the options

These PUP alerts keep displaying on my monitor from Mcafee
