    Default Help!

    I just got a new computer and I need to know which files to exclude from searches.

    Its an HP and I know from my last computer that HP has spyware like files on your computer and if you delete them it messes up your computer


    Advertising.com
    Adviva
    Coremetrics
    Doubleclick
    fastflcik
    ferret
    hitslink
    mediaplex
    targetnet
    valueclick
    webtrends live
    wildtangent

    Any help would be great

    Thank you

    wildtangent - PUP (possibly unwanted program) or Spybot. What is the actual detection that you got?

    Scan and fix all of the above except possibly WildTangent if it was a PUP detection.
