Re: Serious monitering problem. Any solutions?

I had what may be the FP today from a trial version of SS. For quick research it seemed that many anti-spy solutions can't detect it. My initial guess was that SS had recently become able to detect. I purchased the full version and ran again and hey-presto UVP was not detected.

I guess webroot's FP made $39 out of me and cost me several hours.

It's all very well to say don't remove spyware unless you know its not a false positive, but who can point to information that would help know if AVP is truely installed or not?

(1)Any website that provides HijackThis services could have told you, more than likely.

(2)There was a write-up on the registry keys/files to look for in the post from CastleCops that was given on the second page of this thread. Or, you could have put the exact name of the supposed malware found into Google and found the same information yourself.

(3)I would guess that you could have looked to see what definitions version the trial copy of SpySweeper was using - if it was #632, that was the update that caused the problem. Some trial versions of programs don't have the capability to update unless you purchase them - I don't know if SS is that way or not because I don't use the program. If the trial of SS was capable of being updated before purchasing, then obviously you failed to do so - because the F/P was fixed on the very next update of that program (which occurred before you d/l'ed, installed and ran the trial version).

Truthfully, I really don't understand your post on a lot of levels (which I won't take the time to go into). I'll just say that I'm outta here, because the whole thing's starting to sound like a commercial for either UV+ or SS (I can't figure out which! ).

Try to enjoy your purchase, anyway. Just handle alerts more cautiously. And never buy software based on a "detection" of something by its' "trial" version.

Good night, everybody. Pete
