239284 2004-05-25 11:52:00 Is this spyware ??

I have a registry entry that keeps popping up (even after many deletions) and I have virus-checked; and I have spy-ware checked; and I have registry checked; and it keeps coming back.

I emailed the NetCaptor people - and asked them how to get it off my system (as I had never been to their website or downloaded their product) - the closest I came was the google taskbar (now removed)

They said I must have a virus - Is NetCaptor a Virus ?

Is there a dll (or similar) on my system that keeps making a registry entry on a regular basis - reminds me of the gator thing.

cheers

Hi Tommy - I have Hijack-this - two registry cleaners - adaware (with RegHance) - Zzonealarm - two virus checkers - BigFix - and I'm running a RAM DRIVE where all my internet stuff goes (cookies, Temp files, history) ...

and this one still got through

cheers

Woah... like seriously. Got Paranoia?

If you are that scared, use a browser like FireFox or something that is far less susceptible to crap than IE.
