The Dragon Slayer Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) I couldn't get rid of it. SpywareNo was resided in a registry key. I disabled system restore and booted into safemode. I ran Adaware scan and it came up clean. But when I booted in normal mode after and ran Adaware scan. SpywareNo was detected again. What is going on here? I had used Adaware to delete it many times. I also ran MSantispyware scan and it didn't find anything???????????????I don't have the SpywareNo program installed. How could that registry key be detected by Adaware? Any suggestion on how to get rid of the SpywareNo? Thanks.Edited: FP confirmed. New scan yielded no SpywareNo. Thanks to Corrine and Andy.

I typed regedit in Run and search for SpywareNo. It said it found none. However; Adaware continued to tag 8 SpywareNo ( 1 registry key and 7 values ). I kept deleting them and they kept coming back after reboot. Both A squared and MS antispyware continued to find no SpywareNo. Maybe it is hiding in a program but I don't know which one. Any more suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 do a google search on deleting "spywareno"There's obviously a registry key under a different (less obvious) name. Possibly it's an applet that is reloading the spyware Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corrine Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 In the event others run across this thread without knowing the outcome, the current detection of AdwareNo by AAW is a false positive. See here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
