Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass - Please Help

[TotallyConfused]

Hi,

Firstly im sorry if this has already been discussed in a different thread. I tried reading some of the other threads but couldn't really understand the advice given in them (sorry im really dumb with this kind of stuff).

Basically I did a Spybot scan and the normal cookies came up but also the 'Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass' which ive not seen before. Last week when I did my scan Spybot came up with a spyware threat (sorry, I can't remember the name of it) which I removed straight away. The only outcome from that, that I have noticed, is that my desktop background list (in Display Properties) is only showing BMP files. Even if I browse my pictures and click OK on a JPEG it won't apply it. The only way I can apply it is to right click on a JPEG image and 'Set as background'.

I read in another thread that the 'Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass' might have something to do with my McAffe firewall and Windows firewall. I have checked both and they are both on. I have not noticed my PC running badly or anything so should I remove the 'Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass' or not?

Hope someone can help,

Ian

Hello,

This is no infection - this is only a notification.

Please have a look at this link in our forum it should help to explain:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=14824

If you do not want to get this entry anymore you can safely exclude it from future scans.

First of all procede a scan with Spybot - Search & Destroy. Now, mark the item, you want to exclude from the search, with a left-click.
It is marked blue now. Then right-click this entry and select "exclude this product from further searches".

It is also possible to exclude it before the search. Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Advanced Mode" and go to "Settings" -> "Ignore products". There you can tick the checkbox in front of the product you want to exclude from the search.

Best regards
Sandra

... my McAffe firewall and Windows firewall. I have checked both and they are both on. ...

You should not run two firewalls in the same system. If you are going to use the McAfee firewall disable the Windows firewall.
