Few Questions

[Neil239]

Hi,


when i used spybot, i found alot of nasties and stuff.
cleared all, but not merely all, some were not. of course i deleted this stuff with some help, but i got curious..

why cant spybot delete infections that says "in memory"?
is this like a force type of removal? and can even harm your system?
just being curious. :santa:

Actually it won't "harm" your system. What Spybot-SD is attempting to do is remove/purge the threat from your machine, but means of removing it and it's traces from the memory, registry, and files.

It might be successful, because either the malware is locked or in use.
