i use maxthon.

earlier in march, i had posted a thread stating that spysweeper detects maxthon as having effectivebrands toolbar.
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17594&highlight=maxthon
subsequently updating both of them did not show maxthon sa having spyware.

now PEST PATROL detects maxthon as having ABXTOOLBAR spyware !

whats going on ? :roll:

ABXToolbar is a BHO. This BHO is automatically installed when visiting certain sites.
Check whether it came "bundled" with Maxthon or is it installed when you started using Maxthon?
