| 251595 | 2004-07-11 10:58:00 | Ran Spybot (updated) and found AE Convert Operation Monitor (a keylogger) - the problem is, it can't remove it. Its memory resident and upon reboot (as suggested) and rescan which failed. I decided to try other products: -try Lavasoft Ad-ware 6, failed -try Webroot software, it try to remove smart-tags instead (MS Office tool) Help Spec: -WinXP RC2 -Spybot + Adware are updated |

| 251598 | 2004-07-11 11:40:00 | What version of Spybot are you using? Ver 1.3 will remove it. Be carefull removing it as some programmes may no longer work. Cheers Murray P |

| 251599 | 2004-07-11 12:13:00 | I'm using v1.3 and updated with latest def - It scans my system and did detect but since it memory resident (enbedded within the memory system, I guessing into startup as well), the program reported to scan after restart, which I allow it - which still report the same message (can't remove so need to restart upon scan) phew |

| 251600 | 2004-07-11 12:44:00 | Start in safe mode and run Spybot from there? | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 251601 | 2004-07-11 12:45:00 | Try Safe Mode, it might work. Otherwise your into the registry. Cheers Murray P |

| 251603 | 2004-07-12 02:10:00 | This particular piece of software is Parental Control software more than spyware by design. Its a 2.7 MB download, and needs to be manually installed. One needs to ask who installed it, and why. Before recommending its removal by various means. |
