I guess I will just describe one at a time so as not to confuse the issues and
perhaps someone will know what is going on here. I ran Adaware a couple of
days ago and it showed some negligible items which I quarantined. I always
quarantine anything found and then next run I delete if everything is going
well. Then I ran SpyBot Search and Destroy and came up with about 6 high risk
all in red. Scared me half to death :-). Anyway I was not so sure as to how
to deal with those and, before doing anything, I started looking in the help
section. By the time I was finished searching and had decided to delete them,
they were all greyed out and there were no options available. I ran the scan
again and came up with "Congratulations! No risks found" . So I peeked into
the restore file and found them all in there. I guess they got fixed or
deleted or whatever happens. I wish I had taken a screen shot of the findings
but what I remember was Ad "something" and the rest were from Microsoft update.
As far as I can tell everything is working o.k. except for some strange
actions which I will describe in another post. I have done a full system virus
scan with Norton and nothing is showing there. I also ran Win Doctor and the
other Dr. and did a diskcheck. Has anyone else had some stuff found by SpyBot
similar to this?
