    Default Wextract_Cleanup0...Good, Bad or Ugly?

    Hi everyone!

    Sometime after downloading Spybot15, I got a resident warning that a change to my registry was attempted.

    In searching the web, this Wextract_Cleanup0 is largely either legitimate or a virus.

    Anyone know whats up with this, and how to tell if it is legit or a virus (or???)?

    Thanks much in advance, Diligent.

    wextract_cleanup0 startup entries are usually legitimate entries added a RunOnce registry key to clean up temporary or cab files created by installer software. Were you updating or installing software at the time you received the TeaTimer dialog messages?

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
