390666 2005-09-25 03:18:00 Try uninstalling it in Safe Mode.

If that doesnt work, download Ad-aware, or Spybot. See if either of these can remove it.

Or get hijackthis www.spywareinfo.com

Unzip it first, then run it and post a log here. (copy and paste the log here).

390667 2005-09-25 03:33:00 Is it in add and remove ...control panel? Cicero (40)
390668 2005-09-25 03:37:00 I think the entry for it is in add/remove programs, BUT this program says it removes spyware.

It doesn't. Its one of these programs that gives false info on what it picks up. So, people use it / buy it.

As stated here www.spywarewarrior.com

SpySpotter spyspotter.com

false positives work as goad to purchase; installed via adware drive-by-downloads (1); same app as #1 Spyware Killer, Max Privacy Protector, SpyDoctor, SpyFirewall, Spyinator, SpyKiller 2005, SpyLax, SpywareThis, & Spyware Protection Pro; Ad-aware knockoff [A: 8-9-04 / U: 8-9-04]
