mailskinner rtk can someone confirm.....

[shaun67]

If this is a problem as i read else where that this is part of kaspersky and spybot is giving a false positive....

Can anyone confirm this please as every time i scan with spybot it comes up with 4 entries of mailskinner rtk ...every time i fix the problem it appears when i scan with spybot although it says it has fixed the problem.

Anyone know if this is anythink to do with kaspersky as i have the security suite 7.0.0 125

Any advice appreciated thanks .

Hello.

If you post the log of the actual detection you are getting, someone will be better able to advise you.

Run another scan.
When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
Then paste (Ctrl+V) those results to a new post in this thread.

Best regards.

FWIW when I ran SpyBot it told me I had mailskinner.rtk. I chose not to fix it, and ran:

1. A Norton scan which was clean.
2. A Kaspersky online scan which was clean.
3. An Ewido online scan which was clean.
4. An AdAware scan which was clean.
5. HijackThis which showed nothing suspicious.
6. ComboFix which didn't show anything odd.

I then ran SpyBot again and it no longer reported mailskinner.rtk.

When running the Kaspersky scan it required me to uninstall an earlier version before installing the current one, so I'm wondering if the apparent disappearance of mailskinner.rtk may have been related to that uninstall?

On another forum at another site I prepped for the hijack log with this:
Preparations per the sticky on Hijack this logs:

Ran all updates and scans on:
-Windows XP home w/SP-2
-AdAware SE
-All 4) Kaspersky scans: no threats (even rootkits)
-Spyware Blaster: no updates and running.
-Window$ (useless) Defender updated to KB915597 (Definition 1.21.2947.3), scanned: detected nothing (surprise)

Panda will not open: period, even if I shut Kaspersky totally down and turn off my pop-up blocker: AdSubtract.

I am kinda familiar with Trend Micro's anti-virus.
I had the full version and junked it.

They might find something, but (of course) they want $$ I don’t have to fix anything.

When you perform a scan, it deletes MailSkinner: all 4) regiistry entries.

Reboot: There the frapping thing is again.

Manually delete the new regisrty entries, Reboot: There the frapping thing is again.

I am at my wit's end trying to get rid of of this!

If you google it there's a support email you send a grip to, but they also claim it's dangerous to even visit this site:

It states:
Mail Skinner Installation
This site may harm your computer.
Please email to support AT mailskinner.com in case of any problem with the Software that is not remedied by reinstalling it. CONDITIONS 1. ...
mailskinner.com/install/ licence.php?grpid=&nums=&bannerid=

ANY solutions much appreciated!

Kaspersky support claims they do not have any information on this piece of trojan: Nonsense!

I'm not using Kapersky, but Avira Antivir, however, I receive the same warnings (see enclosure)

Otherwise the behaviour is as described in the previous postings

Anybody got an idea ???
