Nerelda Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hey, just a heads up! I was going through all my settings in the "advanced" mode of Spybot S&D when I noticed in "Ignore Products" --> "All Products" tab, that some items under there were checked as default to ignore. These were malicious items such as the infamous "SearchForIt" toolbar. I unchecked all the items that spybot was being told to ignore and rescanned. This fresh scan found several more items that needed to be deleted immediately.No, these items were not under the "Install/Uninstall Programs." I also go through that regularly to make sure nothing has made it's way in without my knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tg1911 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Thanks for the info, NereldaI'm going to check that out right now.EDITMine was OK. About a week ago, I was checking for updates, and noticed Spywareblaster had 1 item with protection disabled. re-enabled it and did some scans. Norton found 1 trojan and quarantined it (couldn't fix it) Trojan.Byte VerifySpybot found a couple of problems, tooNext day checked Spywareblaster, again, same problem. Did all of my scans again, and a Panda online scan.Norton found the same problem.Panda online found three problems, and fixed them.Problems solved.I guess it might be a good idea to keep an eye on these entries in Spybot, Ad-aware, and Spywareblaster, from now on. Damn, this is a never ending battle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went and did what you suggested and this is what I found:LSP New NetNew NetMy SearchSide StepObviously I have deleted them. Did a google search for these items and it seems others have the same thing.I don't know what I would do without the good people here keeping us all informed. I learn something here almost every day.Thanks again.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nerelda Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yes, I found out about this a good while ago as well, but didn't really think to post it until I had to deal with it on my bf's comp, then I realized there may be a lot more people who still don't know about it. Glad I could help.Thanks for the information on spyware blaster as well. Just checked mine, and saw I had the same thing disabled. I went in and enabled protection for it.
