[jwixson]

SpywareBot (which i first thought was SpyBot) caught
- pointroll (jimATads.pointroll
- imnworldwide (jimATimnworldwide
- 2o7 (jimATmsnlivefavorites.112.2o7

and an "unknown browser helper object" at hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\browser helper objects

unknown browser helper object

:sad: SpywareBot found an "unknown browser helper object" at hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\browser helper objects - how can i identify, find and remove it (without having to buy SpywareBot, too)?

 

[jwixson]

do i want to remove these?

SpyBot complained about these:
•Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisableNotify (1 entry)
•Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntivirusDisableNotify (1 entry)
but they look very like something which Microsoft put (and wants) there.

What are these and should i do something about them?
