updated S&D conflicts with RegistryFix

[bernieapp]

I have been running "RegistryFix" for several months-no problems, untill I updated S&D. When I now run S&D it finds numerous faults in RegistryFix. If I remove these "faults" RegistryFix cannot run. Anyone know of a conflict?

Hello,

The reasons why Spybot - Search & Destroy detects this software are several ones:

They state to be an anti-spyware tool but employ questionable advertising methods: In the form of a PopUp they offer a scan of your system. They refer you to an infection of viruses and spyware on your system which is actually not true, because the listed items are not really on your pc. After downloading the software you can only scan for the threats. If the threats (pseudo-infections) are detected you have to register first and pay (up to $30) in order to remove them. Some of these dubious anti-spyware tools do also create a toolbar in IE and create recurring PopUps.
