I turned off email scanning , uninstalled the plug and

change. The four things spycop are finding are :
1. Hotbar... category: RegKey
2. ieaccess.. category: RegKey
3. Acreate... category: File
4. Free Scratch ... category: File

When I go to open IE it says Page cannot be displayed

Try it with S&D

That will pick up some things Ad-Aware doesn't.

Hi Again!
So I uninstalled SpyBeware as you recommended.
Now, I ran ad-aware and it came back squeeky clean! I

ran

Shreddar the other night and it came back clean. So I

ran

SpyCop tonight and it came back with bugs but to remove
them I have to register and that I cannot do because of
IE. I tried updating it before I scanned but it
says "error connecting to SpyCop server".
So will I just reinstall the OS and stop bugging you or
have a another solution??!!!

Since I don't like to type any more than I have to, I'm

going to

cut'n'paste from a reply I made to another poster, who

was also

wondering about a product which required "registration"

($$$)...

No idea... probably ghosts of some of the pests you rid

yourself of a

couple weeks ago; low priority. If it turns out to be

something you

need, it'll let you know when you try to run it.



5 errors Missing Shortcut or Invalid Path

things you've

deleted, or have fallen off your WMP/etc. MostRecentUsed

priority would be a little more accurate.




1 error Connected Drives Missing

Low

sorta weird but if there's nothing wrong, shrug...

perhaps a USB drive

or the CDR/DVD part of the CD drive, maybe a virtual

network drive.

What I don't understand is, why any of the other

applications didn't

detect

those things.
Maybe they are not that important, but three ot them

are supposed to

be of

high priority.


If you aren't getting any errors, I certainly wouldn't

worry about any

of them; looks like standard system hiccups.


What is your take on that?


A half decent registry-cleaner will get rid of most if

not all the

problem listings. Couple largeish threads on that a few

weeks ago.
