<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/0"><b>anon</b></A> : Hi guys<br><br>I have just found this thread after I experienced the same Adware.SystemProcess problem after a Norton update a couple of hours ago (It is Tues 13th in my time Zone but I guess the fix isn't "out-there" yet, lol).  <br><br>Anyway FYI...<br>my CCleaner is 2.0.0.500<br>my Spyware Blaster had 6 IE threats unprotected (but I don't use IE!)<br>So I thought I'd do a little experiment...  I re-enabled all of SpywareBlaster's protection, updated it, and enabled everything again.  I ran a quick Norton scan again, wondering if it would find the same problem a second time.<br><br>No, it didn't.  But it did disable 6 SBlaster things again (without saying anything!) <br><br>AND ... <br><br>It "fixed" a security risk "SecurityRisk.URLRedir", this translates to 79 hosts file entries....or it would have done, except that I blocked Norton's change with WinPatrol (free version)  I haven't checked all of the supposed bad entries, but the few that I did check were NEVER there!!!  - things like Kaspersky, McAffee, F-secure etc.<br><br>Now that is two lies.  That they were there, AND that they had been fixed.<br><br>...and why didn't it find this "problem" when it found the Adware.SystemProcess problem?  Nothing had changed in the meantime except the SpywareBlaster update.<br><br>My Spybot S&D immunisation, however, hadn't been tampered with at all.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/709454"><b>VR38DETT</b></A> : I doubt it is CCleaner.<br><br>My NIS2007 nailed the same Adware.SystemProcess yesterday during the daily Quick Scan. I do have CCleaner installed, but it is v2.01.507 (released October 1, 2007), not the latest one most of you are using. If CCleaner is indeed infected with Adware.SystemProcess, then NIS would have pounded on it back when it was installed, considering detection for this piece of adware was added to the Symantec defs way back in 2005.<br><br>This is most likely a false positive with immunization processes from both SpywareBlaster and Spybot S&S 1.5. I did not used the immunization features on both programs ever since NIS's adware detection. Oddly enough, SpywareBlaster says that I have "6  items have protection disabled" for IE immunization, and only ~70% immunized according to Spybot S&S.<br><br>Coincidence?
