You're likely going to have to approach that from the side of the spyware defense maker. You might try contacting them with a brief description of ObjectDock (maybe "autohiding toolbar on steroids") and see if they can help.

In the meantime, it sounds like the spyware defense is not differentiating between the popup objects being generated by ObjectDock on your machine and popup objects being generated via the internet which is a technique used to bait people into unknowingly installing software.

If you're running IE fullscreen, you might try running it in a window instead, even a big one. That might help the spyware make the distinction.(?). Or if the spyware will allow you to specify a program that you want it to ignore (ObjectDock) you might do that.

I wouldn't be too quick to completely disable the feature in the spyware defense which is blocking the ObjectDock as you would then be defeating one of the major benefits of having the spyware installed in the first place.

And you could try unstalling this spyware defense software and trying a different one. There's not a lot out here about spyware defenses conflicting with ObjectDock so it doesn't sound like it's a common problem.
