Hello,

I have just finished getting rid of lots of viruses and spy stuff from a pc thanks to Spybot (the best product there is and I install it on every PC I can) and other good programs.

Zone Alarm tells me that opmldisrv.exe is trying to access the web but I can't find anything about it on the web. I waited until the ZA alert showed up and did a search on the pc and it came up with only 1 entry:

regUsers.reg in folder C:\documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search and Destroy\Backups

Can someone help me? I don't know whether I should be allowing or denying access

The executable opmldisrv.exe is not part of Spybot-S&D. I personally would allow not it access to the internet until I could determine what it does.

********************

The file The file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Backups\regUsers.reg is part of the registry backup that you optionally took when you first installed Spybot-S&D or elected to take subsequently by going into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > and clicking on the Wizard button at the top of the settings screen.

I suggest that you scan (do a find) on your registry for "opmldisrv.exe" to see what entries are currently in your registry for it.

I was not able to find any information concerning opmldisrv.exe except it was reported as a Moderate threat by CyberDefender on 2006-11-08 with no additional information provided.

Thank you so much for your reply

I did as you suggested and checked the registry but it didn't find any entries. Then I discovered, by accident, that I could do a search on the IP address that ZA provided and it pointed to Avira Antivirus (which is installed on the PC). I don't understand why I can't find it on the PC though so I'm still a bit iffy about it.

Just in case I'm not the only one who didn't know where to search on IP address, the web page is:
