Irene Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Since my protection software was disabled during the SP3 installation, I just ran SpyBot S & DThis is the result.... Do I need to let S & D remove these entries or should they be left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 A similar message used to come up on my main machine as soon as Windows firewall came into existence. Anything I did to get rid resulted in it returning the next time I did a Spybot scan.I don't use SpyBot any longer. The number of issues it came up with at each scan increased (seemingly exponentially) and few, if any, could be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks for the reply, -pops-. Just to confirm, are you saying that it is OK to remove them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 No, I removed SpyBot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I looked at my registry, and there are no such entries at all.Did a Google search, and some results indicate that it *could* be malware.My recommendation: do a registry backup, then let Spybot have fix the entries. I don't know what it will do - remove the entries, or change the value setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
