How come I keep getting this nasty spyware every few days with no other notification until I run a scan manually??

Spybot+AV 'Pro . . . '

Thx,

Bob

Hello GTA351C,

The .jpg shows mostly browser cookies, you may need to tweak each browser's permissions.

Registry changes are often due to installed software's updating. Are you using a registry cleaner, not recommended but let us know if you do. :)

Also, did you install the Amazon toolbar? It is considered a browser hijacker by some programs and generally referred to as a “PUP,” or potentially unwanted program.

Please see 'Optional Installs (https://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?279-So-how-did-I-get-infected-in-the-first-place&p=286306&viewfull=1#post286306)'

Best regards, tashi
