Spyhunter : malware or not ??

[Mojack]

thanks Sandra,

I see the point now.

I had a sim. issue with "toolbar888" - used spyhunter (which did not provide a cleaning tool as claimed), but it listed the registry entries which I manually removed..
Not happy about the false advertising, but it did allow me to remove the toolbar....
I guess it's sometimes a case of what ever works...

Cheers, Pat....

I love how some of these, after you purchase their stuff, list their own software as malware to be removed

Toolbar888 is commonly seen with virtumonde(vundo) Should probably post logs
