Need Help

Hi Micah, The last round was a little rough. I couldn't get into DOS through the Run menue for some reason. I was able to get the DOS promt going through Assesories though. The first DOS command didnt't work so I went on to step two. That command didn't seem to do anything at first but I ran Trend- Micro twice and came up clean, so I guess it was a success. (Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!) The only other question I have is about spy bot. When I boot up in the morning spybot flashes five or six text boxes up that indicate changes to the registry are being made. I always accept the changes. Is that the correct thing to do? Should I be woried about the messages? I can't thank you enough for all of your help! It is really a privilege to meet people like you. (even if it is just in cyberspace)

Spybot is a "legit" and trusted program. If it is making changes to the registry, then they are OK. If you have some registry monitoring program running, maybe you can configure it to accept changes made by Spybot without asking, or maybe you can change the startup sequence so Spybot runs first, then the other program.

Ok thanks Micah! Guess I'll sign off for now unless we need to address anything else. Hope to talk to again. (But hopefully on a lighter subject)

According to my sources, the program:

C:\spywarebegone\SpywareBeGone.exe

Is a "Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Product" :

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

So the "sources" say you should get rid of it.

That link above also has "trustworthy" anti-spyware products listed.

It's your call.
