View Full Version : Attack? SpyBot 1.4 - latest update at time of event, "older" than 10-21-2005

Hello -

I tried to contact you through your web site, but it said invalid email address.

I started SpyBot and a separate window appeared saying it was now possible to back up the registry (7 steps noted), and I thought it a good idea so I started. At step 3, it ran an update, but the checksums were in error, so it did not update (interestingly, I believe it had the same list of updates as I later downloaded directly from the program itself on 11-25-2005, after which I fixed the listed problems). When I canceled the update, the window for registry back up closed, also.

I checked your site for such a feature and did not find it, so I am concerned that it may be one of the spyware that ended up on my system before my latest fix.

Please advise me what happened, and whether my computer has been attacked - if so, what to do.

Thanks.

Greg
