View Full Version : sd resident popups when msn messenger starts

hi all. first of all thanks to everybody who contributed the development of such a great program. i have been using spybot for quite a long time and it is by far the best anti-spyware program i have ever used.
for more than one year, i have had this problem of slow loading of msn messenger whenever i start it, or whenever it starts automatically with the start of windows xp. i posted my problem to various forums, including the forums of msgplus!, which is a famous msn messenger addon. no matter what i did (uninstalling msgplus, reinstalling msgplus, reinstalling or repairing msn messenger, updating everything, repairing registry, even defragmenting the disk) i could not solve the problem so i decided to live with it.
yesterday, i updated spybot from 1.3 to 1.4 and i faced with this new feature. popup messages started to appear at the right end of the screen whenever something changed in the registry. now i see that every time i start msn messenger (or it starts itself), spybot informs me that a value called "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background" has been added to registry. can this be the problem of msn messenger because the same popup did not appear when i installed the latest version of spybot to my laptop.
ps: is there any way to disable these popups without disabling teatimer/resident so that i have full protection but none of these right-corner popups?
Hello romelindo.
Setting Spybot's IE Resident to "Block all pages silently":
Right click on resident icon in task tray >Mouse over Resident IE >Make sure "Block all pages silently" is ticked.
OR
Go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize.
Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer".
In the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" there are three options:
* Block all pages silently
* Display dialog when blocking
* Ask for blocking confirmation
Select "Block all pages silently".
However please go here and follow instructions to post a hjt log.

Someone will check it out to make sure you do not have any infections on your computer.
Cheers.

hi tashi. thanks for the response!
all my settings are already set to "block all pages silently" because i did not want to deal with confirmation dialogs while entering webpages containing adclick and stuff. however, my concern in the ps was something different. i was meaning the informative popup boxes that appear on the right end of the corner (from s&d resident taskbar icon) whenever there is a change in the registry. they are a bit annoying as they keep report the same registry change whenever i launch msn messenger, although it is already on my white list. anyways that is a minor problem. here is my hijackthis log -divided into two posts as one was not enough due to character limit-:

Also it seems you are infected by a trojan:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WService] WService.EXE
(please do not try to delete it simply with HJT)
You may try to remove the trojan by following these instructions:
http://www.sophos.com/support/disinfection/trojan.html
We additionally would ask for this file to help improving Spybot`s database. If you agree please follow the instructions below (before trying to remove the trojan manually).
1) Search for the file given below on your system manually.
2) Pack the file (for example with Winzip or winrar) and protect it with a
password (e.g. "infected")
3) attach the packed file to an email and send it to detections@spybot.info

hi
i guess wservice has something to do with my graphic tablet. when i uninstalled its drivers last night to make sure, it was gone too. other than that, i have fixed the entries that you mentioned, thanks for that.
my msn messenger problem still persists. however, i saw an entry which belongs to 3degrees by accident. my problem might have something to do with the program called 3degrees, that i installed and uninstalled ages ago.
As the malware problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.
If you need the topic reopened please pm your helper.
