    Default Repeating problems

    i've run sp several times now & keep getting the following items...

    SurfAccuracy
    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled
    Windows.Explorer
    Windows.Security.InternetExplorer

    i imagine i'm responsible for the Micor.WinSecrityCenter_disabled since i run Opera but am unsure of the others...

    Any ideas?

    Have a great day! :D

    Hello.

    SurfAccuracy is adware that records keystrokes into a log which it periodically sends to its home servers. It is often bundled with other adware and malware.

    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled
    Spybot-S&D version 1.4 detects Security Risks associated with Microsoft Security Center Registry changes. This is neither a false positive nor a bug.
    Spybot-S&D alerts you that "someone" disabled one or more notifications in the Windows Security Center, e.g. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date.
    If you changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot-S&D to exclude those detections from further scans.
    In order to do so please right-click each in turn, then click "exclude this detection from future scans".

    FYI:There are also malware programs that can disable the notifications.

    Have you run Spybot-S&D in safe mode?

    Please follow the instructions in this sticky topic:
    "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps

    If running Spybot-S&D in safe mode does not remove any problems you are experiencing, start your own thread in the malware forum:
    Malware Removal Forum

    Once you have posted a helper will advise you as soon as available.

    Cheers.
