I was clean a couple of days ago with last week's database, and I haven't really done anything since then so I was wondering if these are false positives. I'm using Windows ME.

I uninstalled some Yahoo! stuff before this happened, including a tool bar IIRC. Could that be causing this detection?

Also, in Spybot the registry entries also say (is not) next to them. So they actually look like this:

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page=about:blank (is not)

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Bar=about:blank (is not)

Not sure why the log I posted earlier doesn't say that. Sorry for posting again, couldn't edit the older posts.

hello,

SBI $7281762E tells me that your search sites are directed to

couldnotfind.com
which belongs to Integrated Search Technologies which is a known hijacker.
You should fix this issue.

Not sure how I got that, but I'll go ahead and fix it. Thanks for the help.
