I have the Ant-Spy icon on Yahoo Toolbar but when I try to run it, I am prompted to download it again, only to get an 'error' message. Has anybody else had this prob?

yahoo anti spy will download to most machines,you may have to disable any firewall or internet explorer sheild you have,remembering to enable it after you have finished.
if that dosent work,you can download the toolbar to your hard drive and install it from there
if you still cant do it,you should consider installing one or all of these excellent anti-spy programs ,and there all FREE

It could've been something wrong with your registry, or other applications forbid that.
