Please do not install needless antispyware programs onto your machine

Spyhunter - These programs are rogueware and we highly recommend that you uninstall them. Rogue or Suspect means that these products are of unknown, questionable, or dubious value as anti-spyware protection.

This is from The Spyware Warrior's List of Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites
Quote:
Note on Enigma SpyHunter: Enigma's SpyHunter anti-spyware application was listed on this page primarily because of the company's history of employing aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The company was also known for exploiting the name "spybot" in its domain names and online advertising. These objectionable business practices were employed primarily from late-2002 to mid-2004.

Sometime during summer of 2004 the company halted the most obnoxious and objectionable aspects of its online advertising. It also unloaded all the "spybot" domains (which were promptly picked up by Paretologic for its XoftSpy anti-spyware application).

While there are still unresolved allegations that SpyHunter transmits the Windows Product ID from users' PCs (1), we can no longer classify this application as "rogue/suspect." Nonetheless, SpyHunter -- at least in its current state -- cannot be recommended because of its mediocre performance as an anti-spyware scanner. Testing indicates that it does not recognize some well-known spyware installations and has difficulty removing critical spyware/adware files even from those it does recognize (1). Given the many excellent competing anti-spyware applications that are available (some for free), users would do better looking elsewhere for trustworthy anti-spyware protection.
Please download TDS-3 - & Install.
Close it after you have finished installation.
Download & overwrite the existing file - "radius.td3", located in folder >> C:\Program Files\TDS-3\ with this file
  • Launch TDS-3 & it will scan your memory for running processes. This will take less than 30 seconds.
  • Go to System Testing on the menu bar & select Full System Scan.
  • After it has finished scanning, Select & Copy everything on the top pane into your next post.
  • If present, right click on any entry listed in the lower pane & select Save as text. This will create a logfile named scandump.txt in TDS-3's folder - post that in your next reply.
