Here's a strange problem:
I've got two almost identical computers with Win XP SP-2 and the same basic software on each. One is a little older, kept clean, and used mostly for backup - not day to day web surfing.
MSFT AS, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, A-2, McAfee, ZA, etc. are on both machines and kept current.
Just now updated all of the above and ran new scans. All was fine on the computer used for day to day web surfing, but on the second machine, a glitch occurred when running Spybot after trying to immunize the machine to add the newer blocked entries from the Spybot update.
The warning MSFT Anti-spyware pops up is shown in the captures attached. It says something (presumably Spybot) was trying to add 139mm.com to the IE trusted zones. I allowed it to block the entry and found this earlier thread on the item.

hjt log: weird problemHas anyone else experienced this and what is the recommended course of action?
Should the blocked item be unblocked in MSFT Anti-Spyware?
Why would Spybot be adding that item to the trusted zone rather than to the list of restricted sites in IE?
And if it is not attempting to do so, why would MSFT AS be showing the blocking alert?
Finally, why would this happen on one comp but not the sister machine when both were updated at the same time?
Here are a few google links on 139mm.com:
