Hi, I recently downloaded Spybot Search and destroy from the official spybot website, and am a little worried about something.
I usually have been running defender Pro Antispy to detect spyware. I downloaded Spybot for added protection against spyware.
Before I installed Spybot S&D, my system was completely clean, not a trace of spyware. After I installed Spybot S&D, And ran it, it detected a few things my defender Pro antispy didn't catch.
I then run my Defender Pro antispy, after installing and running spybot, and it detects 250 registry entries presumebly created by spybot, under the registry of Internet explorer such as, xxx toolbar, X dialer, WhenU, SaveNow, and a bunch of other things as well.
I know this is probably not spyware, but rather my Defender pro is detecting the definition files, and registry entries spybot creates to Immunize against spyware, and is detecting and lableing it as spyware.
I would really appreciate it if someone could explain to me, about this because I am very cautious about what I put onto my system, and tend to become worried when I see this sort of thing.
Btw, all the registry entries labled as spyware, By my Defender Pro Antispy,
go away after uninstalling Spybot S&D, so thats why I'm thinking it's not spyware. But I am just asking to be safe.
I appreciate any feedback about this issue, Thank You
