    hi all just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.. I went to Spyware nuker and downloaded their test scanner from here. http://www.nuker.com/ when it was installing my Winpatrol detected attempts to change progs and my browser settings. When I ran their test it found several spys on my machine. I thought this was realy weird because I just finished running ad-aware SE and spybot. so I did it a second time and sure enuff the exact same spys where reinstalled again! how fraudulant can you be! how do we stop this??

    sorry here are the results of adawares scan after the second install of spywarenuker this list is from AdAware and its the same 7 installed everytime and the bad part is that if you dont buy their product or have another spyware remover you get stuck with the bugs!!

    I'm not sure about that. The lines you are showing have to do with Ad-Aware SE detecting SpywareNuker as a problem. Perhaps it is Ad-Aware SE and WinPatrol who need to be updated now. I'm not sure about this.

    But did you buy SpywareNuker2004 or is this a trial version?

    If a trial, uninstall it and stick with the free stuff. The work just as well if not better.
