I got this in a Spybot scan, and just let Spybot fix it. On the next scan a week or so later, I got it again. I looked it up to see what it was, and found out what it was supposed to do. I don't have any of the random registry entries it's supposed to create (I checked half a dozen or so), it's not adding stuff to my favorites list or to my computer's processes as far as I can see, and it's not hijacking my browser. And it keeps showing up in Spybot scans. Is this really on my computer, or is it a false positive? I use IE6 on WinXP SP2, constantly updated; Spybot, WinPatrol, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, AVG Free & Windows Defender installed and updated regularly, and a few online malware scans, and Spybot is the only one picking this up as far as I know. If it's not a false positive, I would appreciate some expert advice in making this disappear from my computer. Thanks.
please follow the steps in this sticky (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=19117)
for reporting a possible false positive.
But what if it isn't a false positive? How can I tell?

Once you provide the report, Yodama will be able to inform you if it is a false positive or not. ;)
Ok, I found all the info requested. How do I post it? I can send the reports as an email attachment (need an address), or copy and paste it as a reply in this forum, or do you have another preferred method?
I have WinXp SP2 Home, Internet Explorer 6.
This is the last clean report before elitebar:

Since then it's come back a few times and has been 'fixed' whenever it's shown up.
Elitebar showed up again this morning on my scan. I haven't fixed it yet, so I can send a before and after on the results, and I can do the same for an HJT scan if you'd like. Spybot is set at the default settings, so if you want that changed, let me know.
I scanned my computer with Spybot yesterday morning, and found out elitebar was back. I didn't fix it, but I did shut Spybot down and restart it, and scanned again. It came up again on the second scan. Again, I didn't fix it. After work when I got home, I scanned again and Spybot came up clean. It showed up twice in the morning, was never fixed, and yet it's gone, like magic. Is this thing a false positive or isn't it?
