| Software titled Block-Checker and MSN
Block-Checker |
I ran a Google search, to see what the world has on it.
I don't quite understand- But is it a good MSN feature or a spyware infection?
Interested in your opinion |

Gilbert, AZ | That's because the file has been archived into a system restore point. You can ignore the warning knowing that the older system restore points will be deleted. |

Correct me if I am wrong....but is that a scan result with Spyware Doctor ?
If so....are you a user of Spywareblaster and it's cookie protection feature....or Spybot's Immunization feature, in particular it's cookie database entries ?
Below Above is a scan result with Spyware Doctors latest database finding valid entries placed in IE's Privacy\Cookie section by Spywareblaster.

Thank you for the information
I went to the other thread(link)from your post
That other User has the exact same scenario as me.
Yes,
I have ad-aware se personal,Spybot,SpywareBlaster,Microsoft A-S Beta,
and the only reason I downloaded SpywareDoctor was to get additional protection.
But now I wish i did not download ,after reading the other thread from your link
Please,
if you read anything on this topic,
pass it to my post.
Thanks again and again |
