Default Speedbit

Have you tried using Ad-Aware to remove it?

Yep, doesn't recognize it. S&D catches it though but only takes out half
so
have to physically remove from the registry. Classic pain.


Well, you could try some of the other Malware removal software or uninstall
SpeedBit. Just a suggestion.

It's getting to be a real pain and won't stay gone despite registry
attempts to clear it.

Suggestions?

I'm also would like to know its origin if anybody knows.

OS: 98SE with latest criticalupdates

Ciao,

Ok, so you have updated detection files it seems, but just maybe an
updated baseprogram, S-S&D 1.4, will make a difference.
