Detection with NOTHING done . .

[LoneLurker]

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:

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.

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,

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,
