[SOLVED] Remove Search and Destroy?
I noticed something in the first step when asking for assistance with a HJT log "This Add or Remove Programs entry corresponds to a program that is either malware, installs malware, or is bundled with malware.
To my surprise Search and Destroy was listed, my question is simply this and forgive me if I sound naive.
Does that mean to uninstall SpyBot S&D?
Your assistance is much noticed and appreciated.

Re: Remove Search and Destroy?
hmm. I don't see any search and destroy program listed there..
And if it is indeed listed, it's definitely not spybot.

Look where it says "For a more complete list, please use this resource."
Thanks again in advance.

Spybot Search & Destroy is now at version 1.5 and is well known, and legit.

Exact names are important.
