    Hello.

    RE:Spyhunter.

    While there are still unresolved allegations that SpyHunter transmits the Windows Product ID from users' PCs (1), we can no longer classify this application as "rogue/suspect." Nonetheless, SpyHunter -- at least in its current state -- cannot be recommended because of its mediocre performance as an anti-spyware scanner. Testing indicates that it does not recognize some well-known spyware installations and has difficulty removing critical spyware/adware files even from those it does recognize (1). Given the many excellent competing anti-spyware applications that are available (some for free), users would do better looking elsewhere for trustworthy anti-spyware protection.

    Also: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/u...007-04-11.html, thus I removed the link.

    Please produce a log.
    • switch Spybot S&D into advanced mode
    • navigate to tools - view reports
    • check all boxes
    • click view report button to create the report
    • export the report to a textfile and send it to: detections(AT)spybot.info (Replace AT with @) and include a link to this topic.

    Follow the procedure in this link:
    "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)

    Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum where a helper will advise you when available.

    Best regards.
