    Default Earthlink Free Spyscan Results- Spyware!

    I used the Earthlink.net free spyware scan and got the following

    Spyware Registry Entries
    -----------------------------------


    BrilliantDigital
    CoolWebSearch
    Ezula
    SearchSquire


    Risk threat level HIGH

    I can't remove them using the Earthlink tool, because I have Win ME

    I have Spybot 1.4, Crap Cleaner, and AdAware but they don't pick them
    up

    Hello.

    Could be a false positive, let's take a look.

    • Open SpyBot, check for and get any updates available.
    • Close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found in red
    • Then on the toolbar menu select mode and switch to advanced mode, on the left lower down select tools, and view report, ensure all the options are selected near the bottom except
    • Uncheck[ ] do not report disabled or known legitimate Items.
    • uncheck[ ] Include a list of services in report.
    • Uncheck[ ] Include uninstall list in report.
    • Now select (near the top) view report.
    • Press export in the save in box choose a place such as your my documents folder, then in your next post near the bottom select the "browse" button; navigate to and attach or post that report.

    Hi there.
    Looks like a false postive from Earthlink.
    Not sure I would trust a scanner that states:

    It's time to KISS your computer
