Hi everyone!

Sometime after downloading Spybot15, I got a resident warning that a change to my registry was attempted.

In searching the web, this Wextract_Cleanup0 is largely either legitimate or a virus.

Anyone know whats up with this, and how to tell if it is legit or a virus (or???)?

Thanks much in advance, Diligent.

wextract_cleanup0 startup entries are usually legitimate entries added a RunOnce registry key to clean up temporary or cab files created by installer software. Were you updating or installing software at the time you received the TeaTimer dialog messages?
