SpyBot and Webroot 's SpySweeper
Greetings:
I've had an on-again, off-again, and now back on-again problem. SpySweeper is displaying the Internet Communication Shield notice again. It appears as if SpySweeper is going down through my HOSTS file and checking each entry.
This happened once before and I stopped it by un-ticking the "Global Hosts" item on SpyBot's immunize panel. That info was from http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=50311 . That box is still un-ticked, but SpySweeper is again giving me the "Communication Shield" notices.
A few days ago I downloaded a Citrix application so I could connect remotely to my work PC . I didn't like it, so I removed Citrix. That's when the SpySweeper notices started to appear again. Is there something else I should do to stop SpySweeper from going down through my HOSTS file and checking every entry?
I have a Windows XP 2004 Media Center with:
SpyBot version 1.6.2.46
SpySweeper: 6.1.0.128 (Anti-Virus is OFF)
AVG 8.5.409 (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware)
ZoneAlarm Pro 8.0.298.000 (Firewall, OS Firewall, Anti-Spyware)
In advance, Thanks!
