I had a problem a while back where spybot wouldnt get rid of regitry entry.

i noticed there were still a couple of kazaa folders left in the registry after uninstall/spybot, tho these were'nt picked up by a scan so i dont think they were anything suss, but i deleted them anyway

Well they werent the spyware part of the program

if you mean the folders in my registry, i know

here's a link btw to the that site "Gator"

the site mentions something called 'Gain', i'm sure that was one of the things installed with kmd, and a couple of other things

Yea.. Gator probably had an eye on the credit card #'s stored in the program.. @#$%* bastards

Get cookiewall...it lets you add the cookies adaware/spybot finds to a section which keeps them from being downloaded onto your machine again.

the progs work great, bur remember if you scan with sbs&d, then with adaware, adaware can detect things quarantined in sb, kinda givin a false positive

i run ad-aware once a week and i usually find the same stuff i found last week but they are only cookies. i think ad-watch can help u with your problem. it will tell you whenever sumthing is being written in the registry. there is a same tool in spybot as well but i dunno its name cuz i dont use spybot

[Wolfmight]

yea.. sucks when adaware finds like alot of stuff.. but they all jus harmless cookies.. wooooo in boredom i speak.

[B][FONT=Optima][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue]I had d/l both Ad-Aware (full version) and Pop-up stopper for those blasted Messenger popups *($#(). I then d/l Zone Zone Alarm firewall (with the unlock key) and lo & behold all of the bull stopped! Since I d/l it 3 days ago, there were over 6,000!!!! attempts to penetrate my computer, mostly by messenger users but alot of others also. I am very impressed with that program!

every body here should try and keep spy sweeper it gets stuff ad aware misses, not to say ad aware is bad, its great but spy sweeper is better try it
