into this application!! Strongly recommend you full system check-up..." :sick:

I am using 1.5 w/ _16 beta version.
All seemed well 'til now.

During update download I received the above message.
AVG AS 7.5, Super-Anti-Spy, AAW SE, AVG AV find nothing & scanning w HJT 1.99 showed nothing new or unusual. Comodo BOClean has noted nothing.
Have not run any MS updates though did visit their security blog re this patch Tuesdays Notification.

S&D scan 12 hours ago showed nothing found.
Some online banking done on this machine.

Is this a False Positive?? Beta quirk?
If real, any other suggestions to find the :fear::spider: ?
Thanks for speedy reply & all thoughts! Sandy:red:

Hello Sandy,

This is a microsoft message.
We have implemented this tool as it should be needed for the vista certification.
But it shows to be buggy and does not make any sense, so we have already deleted it.

Here is the download file for the fix - the new Spybot beta:

Thanks, Sandra!!!:angel:

From the size of the download you linked, it looks like a full new Beta version of S&D. Is this correct? If so,
what is the recommended method for (I assume) removing previous 1.5 W/ beta additions (or just usual)?

Thanks again! Sandy:heart:

Hello Sandy,

That is correct - it is a new beta.
You can install it over the old version.

Thanks, I will download that fix. I couldn't figure out what that message meant either. Glad to know it isn't of importance.
