    Default Detection with NOTHING done . .

    Greetings from LeonSprings, Texas USofA,

    It has been somewhat of a long time since I have been here, there have been some major changes in my system. I see my sig reflects what I have and have updated minor parts.

    Spybot detects one item that it (SBS&D) displays in RED, usually there are four (4) entries and they are not removed.

    Entry of scan log:

    "--- Search result list ---
    Spywareinfo.TrafficZ: Bookmark (Firefox: Native (default)) (Bookmark, nothing done)


    Spywareinfo.TrafficZ: Bookmark (Firefox: Native (default)) (Bookmark, nothing done)


    Spywareinfo.TrafficZ: Bookmark (Firefox: Native (default)) (Bookmark, nothing done)


    Spywareinfo.TrafficZ: Bookmark (Firefox: Native (default)) (Bookmark, nothing done)"

    NOT the full log the other entries are just tracking points. This list does not show what is from within Spybot. Spybot calls this 'TrafficZ' and tells me it is within my FF Bookmarks yet it cannot be found. Some additional info is it is supposed to be tied to "/~merijn/ (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/); downloads.html (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html); Spywareinfo :· Spyware and hijackware Removal Specialists (http://www.spywareinfo.com/); forums.html (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/forums.html)" and I have not been to that website for a very long time. This just started showing in Spybot since the end of last year, early January, 2009.

    This has shown every time Spybot is run and as you can see in the short part of my Scan Log it is in the bookmark with nothing done. Can anyone give me some advise on how to clear this?

    Thank you for reading my message and TIA,

    Do you have bookmarks in Firefox to the Merijn site?

    If you are comfortable showing your Firefox bookmarks here,you could do this:
    Open Firefox,click Organize Bookmarks,click Import and Backup,in the dropdown menu,click Export Html,choose somewhere conveinent to save the file,such a your desktop.
    Go to bookmarks.html,rightclick it,select Open With,then notepad,if notepad isn't right there,then click choose Default Program,then select Notepad,or browse and find Notepad.Please make sure Always use the selected program to open this kind of file is not checked.
    Open edit,select all,then rightclick,select Copy,then Paste it here.

    Zenobia,

    Yes, I do have links to Merijn site, even those covered by SBS&D as listed within my first post. I did a search for those locations and did not find any, of course those searches were done using my txt editor (EditPad by JGSoft) as well as copies that I have as backups that are not within the FF folder, Double Noid, paranoid.

    Within my FF v3.0.6 the Bookmarks are not as you had suggested, the menu bar shows "Organize, Views, and Import and Backup." Have not gotten to the creating the TXT file yet to post here, have had several other tasks to chase down and complete. Maybe tomorrow.

    Thank you for reading my message and excuse me for not fulfilling your request, yet,

    No problem.
    If you do have links to the old Merijn site in your bookmarks,I'd suggest to let Spybot remove them,or manually delete them in bookmarks.
    Please see this post for more info:
    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=44116
    And this:

    No need to post the text file,unless Spybot cannot remove the bookmarks,and/or you cannot find the old Merijn site links in bookmarks.

    Default Re: My problems and your Solution . . .

    NO Posting for you from my bookmarks, nor will SBS&D remove said problem. I went in to 'Tools,' 'ManageBookMarks' and searched and found the problem links AND Deleted them. At least so far, have not done any searches to see if they were removed. Plan on closing FF and reopening to see if they were really removed. Plus run another Update of SBS&D then another scan.

    Plus I have just installed and learning how to use AlterEgo from the forums and I like it except it just is not acting as reported still need to inform their Thread.

    Thank you for reading my roaster poster and giving EXCELLENT assistance,

    Default Same "O" same . . .

    Well guess what? Using my TXT editor to find entries in the bookmarks for FF is NOT very good, went in again today and found four (4) more entries in various locations. Took me a couple of hours to find where they were located, because; FF Search for entries in bookmarks has not a field to show the path to that bookmark location. Only gives as a location the website that it will take you to. Instead of guiding you into the bookmark they take you to the other end, NOT much help in that respect.

    Well they are gone, and I thank you again for this assistance plus for reading and responding to my poster roasters,

    Default Same ole Problem . . except I have learned . . .

    Same ole Problem . . except I have learned . . . did another scan and found another link within my bookmarks in FF. Thought I had them all removed, guess I need to quit 'thinking' and start 'doing' to get rid of these pests.

    Another problem has reared it's UGLY head, my system keeps freezing for about 1 to 2 min. and have been told to uninstall "Tea Time," which I did and it still is doing that. Had DiamondCS' RegProt on here and up until about a day ago it would run through all or any new entry in the RegistryFile, about 10 to 13 entries, in just a few seconds, now it may take up to 20 to 30 min. My H/D light keeps flashing even when I disconnect my DSL line and not doing anything on the keyboard, just sit there and watch. Do you think they have finally perfected the ESP software? HA! HA! HA! JOKE do not get your shorts in a knot. Oh! one other point in that area, the modem "Activity" light is not flashing most of the time even with the DSL connected, I know it will not when disconnected.

    I ran CCleaner, latest version and using the "Windows" tab in there listed out many files that it found and wanted to remove so I told it to remove them. After about 3 hours it was still working on that job, I killed it and ran another "Analyze" and saved the list that came up. Then did an "Analyze" for "Application" tab and saved a copy of that and it looks to be the same list, have not compared them yet.

    Every now and then when doing either a AV scan or SBS&D or just using my system to surf the web it will just go "blank" (black screen) and start to reboot. I will not allow that to occur, I all ways to a COLD boot, except for when Microsoft is doing a(just at this point my system FROZE for about 1.5 min.)n update that may contain security software.

    Any ideas as to What or Why this may happen would really be appreciated, thank you for reading my poster,

    Spybot is finding the same as before,Spywareinfo.TrafficZ?

    Three hours for ccleaner to run is a long time.
    Try this,Click Start,type cleanmgr,doubleclick cleanmgr.exe,decide whether you want just clean your files(My Files),or files for everyone on your computer,let me know how that goes.

    Also,could you follow this to export a startup list,then post it here?
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/startup.html

    And finally,could you click Start,paste in Performance Information and Tools,doubleclick that,then over to the left select Advanced Tools.Is there anything there listed under Performance Issues?

    Excuse me for being rather late in this reply. Am having other problems as well like Firewall (COMODO), AntiVirus (AVIRA) will not start and install automagically nor any other item listed in the Registry. For some reason those are being bypassed, I am now working in SAFE MODE/w Networking and even Windows Security Center will not run in this mode. Neither will the Performance Information and Tools will not load here, that will be done OFF line later and post in another message.

    Did the 'cleanmgr' thingy and cleared some areas, but; do not think that will HELP with my main problem. When booting in NORMAL I click on the START button to access the Programs list and start my AntiVir (Avira) and CIS (Comodo) my system freezes for about 3 to 4 minutes until each is loaded, one at a time. If starting any other program will do the same.

    Thank you for being there and giving some suggestions,
