spybot and tweak UI / numbsoft

**Detah** · 02-09-2007, 08:27 AM

Good morning-

I updated spybot this morning and then did a full scan just for fun.
It found 1 item which I find odd.

Numbsoft
autorun settings (Tweak UI)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/TweakUI

I installed TweakUI a couple years ago and I have never had any problems with it. Firstly, I did not realize that Numbsoft produced it. I thought TweakUI was produced by Microsoft by Microsoft PowerUsers. That being said, I have run Spybot dozens of times and this is the first time that it has appeared as a badguy. So clearly Spybot has changed something about how it views TweakUI in the last set of defs.

Anyone know anything about this? I have no intention of deleting this entry. Something Spybot should investigate perhaps.

I searched the forum for 'numbsoft' and here is the only related topic. It sounds like this guy has a browser hijacker. Not sure what Numbsoft has to do with it. I have no files called numbsoft.exe on my computer, as this fellow indicates.

Help me!Virus trouble(urgent)

I appreciate any info you might have.
