    Default Recent Def download

    I just downloaded the recent updates and each time I run the SB SD, I keep getting three exceptions. I deleted/fixed them and the next time I run the SB SD, the same three are back again.
    What is going on?

    Aornum - 2 entries Firefox browser
    Spyware info Traffic Z - 2 entries Firefox browser
    Net Integration - 2 entries Firefox browser
    Vista also Win7 (64-Bit) IE 9; MSE; SpywareBlaster; MalwareBytes; SpyBot

    Hello,

    THat are bookmarks.
    Spybot does only detect bookmarks, but does not remove them.
    In order to remove a found bookmark please open your browser and edit your bookmarks by deleting the bad one.

    #1- That's the problem. I cannot find these bookmarks as outlined by Spybot.
    #2- How do we remove if I can't find them with the description given by Spybot?
    #3- I never saw these 3 exceptions (bookmarks) when I previously ran Spybot and I have been running SpyBot on this notebook for several years! Why are they just showing up now?

    Hello,

    Did you check your bookmarks in your browser?
    Do you have any other user accounts that might have bookmarked them?

    How can I possibly find them? I have hundreds of bookmarks in FF! I am the only one who uses this computer.

    Regarding my post above, the same thing happened on my other computer and I had to delete ALL the bookmarks in FF in order to get rid of these 'bookmark' items that SpyBot found.
    I don't want to delete all my FF bookmarks on this new Win7 computer also, in order to get rid of these 3 bookmarks (which I cannot find in the bookmarks).

    How can I possibly look through 100s of bookmarks to find these 3 bookmarks?
    Why does SB alert me to these bookmarks and then give me no way to get rid of them?
    This is very frustrating indeed.
