Hate to tell you this, but here's a bittersweet solution and response.

Bitter would be the long, five paged thread. Sweet would be the answer to your query.

The general idea is that, SnoopFree is wrong about Spybot "spying" on your screen or taking a screencapture. All Spybot does during execution is display the GUI.

It could also mean a false positive. Possibly (for SnoopFree). Rest assured Spybot is not malware or any kind of that.

coolio thanks for that. i will try emailing snoopfree, it seems to be quite a useful prog in its own way. i am using it during an 'attack' so i was wondering if spybot itself had been hijacked. probably just a false positive... getting the same thing for skype and another prog indicates skype has been hijacked...
if i find out from snoopfree i'll update the thread.

SnoopFree is quite dated, I mean in Program terms. Really old.

I mean there are millions of Spybot and Skype users, they can't all be possibly "hijacked".

Good luck on the report.
