I run 3 anti spyware programmes, Spybot,CounterSpy and SpySweeper.
I also ran PeerGuardian2. Yesterday I decided to un-install PeerGuardian. As I was doing so SpySweeper identified an item "goldeneye" which they describe as being a very serious threath,a system monitor which spies, keylogs and forwards information. I was wondering if you had heard of this programme and its activities. If it is a serious problem can Spybot be modified to identify its presence. Your assistance would be welcomed.
The location. C:\Programme Files\peerguardian2\unins.000.exe.

hitbitI do not use peerguardian2 but I have seen on other Forums where Spysweeper is finding unins.000.exe as a possible threat in that program. In my particular case and others using the program....Spysweeper is finding unins.000.exe in a program I use called EULAyzer (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/eulalyzer.html). In all these cases....your's included....it is a False postive by Spysweeper against those programs uninstall file.
