331238 2005-03-06 08:20:00 I just installed it, thought I'd give it a go. My comp has been doing odd things even after running spybot & adaware. MS got it. The name is XferPro trojan downloaderhttp://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/images/smilies/thumbs.gif Phil B (648)
331239 2005-03-06 08:48:00 so what did it actually clean out ? tweak'e (69)
331240 2005-03-06 08:53:00 It was called XferPro, a trojan downloader. Downloads & install programs without permission. My running processes went from 37 to 34. I'm using AVG7 & Sygate personal firewall too. It sneaked in somehow. Phil B (648)
331241 2005-03-06 08:58:00 do you have the list of files/keys MSantispyware removed ?? tweak'e (69)

331244 2005-03-06 09:51:00 I'm running spybot and the ms one side by side and found that what spybot misses the ms one will pick up and also the reverse is true what ms one misses spy bot picks up and I suspect the same could be said for adaware.
Its another tool that can be used, none of which are the perfect defence, but when used together, come close to perfection
