I have searched similar threads regarding this "spywareinfo.trafficZ" but
cannot not find a definate answer,
spybot is finding a red spywareinfo.trafficZ , it seems to let me remove it
but after a rescan it is there again ,
It says it is located at firefox default,bookmark default,browser entry.
I am not using seamonky
programs I have used find nothing,full virus scan,kaspersky,spywareterminator,
How can i remove it , or if I missed a previous thread on this and it is just
a false threat, how can i remove that, thanx in advance

Just found that i have the same problem. Surprised no one has replied to original post. Any assistance out there?

wazza, what original post? I don't see any post from you regarding this issue in the past, based on your public profile.

I guess he meant the one above him.

That no other app has found it is not that difficult... most are not supporting as many browsers as we do.

One important thing when fixing browser entries is that the affected browser has to be closed while fixing, otherwise the browser might restore a file at a later point from a copy it has in memory.

@keyteem: if you don't use Firefox at all, you probably tried it in the past though?

I refer to the post by Keytem.

Originally did a google search which came up with this post at the top. Later found there were other posts.

Kept on running spybot and clearing the 'problem'. After 5th attempt it did not reappear. Will try again tonight to see if it crops up again.

I have the same issue reported by keyteem.

See my post above... did you two had Firefox open or closed while fixing?

And was it Firefox 2 or 3? 2 might have problems, to fix things in FF2, the Spybot 1.6.2 update from today might be more useful

I did a scan with spybot 1.60 and got the following results:
This comes up in red:

Spywareinfo.TrafficZ
bookmark (firefox default)downloads.html(http://www.spyware.info)
bookmark (firefox default) forums.html (http://www.spyware.info..)
bookmark (firefox default) index.html (http://www.spyware.info..)

I have windows XP version 1 on a dell computer?

Everytime I delete the above three things, when I open firefox, it keeps coming up again just if I open up firefox version 3.6. This is bothering me very much.

Firefox is closed when I delete the above things that come up on my machine.

Would you kindly advise me what to do?

Thanks for any help.

The latest Firefox is 3.0.5, are you sure you've got a 3.6?

I doubt there is a Mozilla Firefox version 3.6 . It seems like this bookmark thing (it sounds like it's directing or redirecting to that spyware . info site everytime Firefox is opened) regenerates upon the execution of Firefox. Is there anything we can do about it (I mean I was just curious if there's a way to fix this?)?.
