What is it?

[vierus]

I have Spybot 1.52 (the latest) and latest updates installed in my PC.
Last clean up I got an entry with the name SynergeticSoftPrivacyDefender. Is this a malware or is it a "warning" from SB of a registry change ?
As well when SB warns you of whether to "deny" or "approve" an entry......I usually deny when online but accept when NOT online....as it sometimes appears when NOT online as well.

Hello,

That is malware that were found after a scan.

Please read this information about TeaTimer:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/33.html
and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/34.html
If you surf the web and without any user interaction the teatimer pops up and warns about a registry change it is better to "deny", but if you install something by yourself it is OK to "allow" the change.

If you have scanned and fixed items with Spybot you also have to allow the registry change that the Resident TeaTimer is asking for.
Only then the items will be deleted completely.

By the way ...you have posted in the Tavern.
