    Spybot free version = Can you tell me what is safe to delete from the registry? There is no need for you to look at the other files except for the rootkit. 1 file is the regular scan and the other is the rootkit (i didn't touch this, i didn't recognize anything i knew)

    To help out most if not all of these will come from eBay. Very few times i will pick up some place else because i know what sites to stay away from. My other programs don't pick up these files. I use what's recommended here and a few others that work great for cleaning.

    How come there are some files that was found on 1.4 that the new 2.4 does not find yet it's the same newest defintions? The version i used previously. I did not write down all of the files before i removed that version. The following is what few i wrote down and remember before removing this version. Are any of these problems i need to remove (all registry)? Also 2.4 found other things that 1.4 did not doesn't make any sense to me. 1.4 takes 90 minutes to 2 hours to run while 2.4 runs under a hour. Last time i ran 1.4 1 or more of the registry errors i removed caused my computer not to boot up but it's fixed now. No matter what 1.4 found i always removed never looking at what the files were and no problems until 3-4 weeks ago update. I do not reinstall the previous version to show you the log because it would be a pain to do the updates on it starting from zero on a slow connection.

    ilivid download manager : settings hkey_classes_root\applications\ilividsetup-r 766-n-bf.exe (also finding r1427-t-br.exe in the same directory)

    win32.ramnit.g and other files under win32. something i don't remember the actual file names

    something under fraud xp defender2013 and fraud bho these two were safe to delete; maybe there is another program that will pick up these easier for me to download


    I appreciate anyone's time in taking time out for me.

    The entries "SwagBucks.Toolbar" and "PUP.Optional.Outbrowse" need removing from the Checks.txt log. I've found nothing on the ADS entries - not a good sign. Adding to that a mention of win32.ramnit.g, I suggest that you run this online scanner:

    Using ESET's Online Scanner

    Notes:
    Your questions about the differences in files detected and scanning time using one version of SpyBot versus another should be discussed on the Spybot – Search & Destroy Forums
    Further help with malware can only be given upon review of the requested logs from running The R&R ME FiRST guide as you were instructed in your software thread.​

    "I've found nothing on the ADS entries - not a good sign." I don't understand what you mean by if you found nothing it's not good.

    When i don't fix the errors or at least some of them one of two things will happen: slow firefox, not loading firefox. It's only been recently that i have not deleted everything it finds. Those i have not deleted have not showed any signs but it maybe still be doing something in the background.

    I'll check back with this scanner and post in spybot forum when i get time.

    I do use what's in the links except for 1 or 2 i haven't tried, antispyware is next in line to try. Those i run finds nothing, malwarebytes found a couple already removed but it finds nothing that spybot finds.

    My meaning - i would expect search engine returns to number in the thousands for known legit files in an OS that soon will be 14 yrs. old.

    The programs selected for use in the guide gives us accurate reports on the machine's status... and they are the required logs needed to receive competent help in this forum.

    I don't know if i can download the eset signature or not on my connection. Unless it has a resume feature i won't be able to. I have half now; if it has to start over then i can't do it. Spybot when empty divides them into several files so i can do 1 or 2 and not all at once.

    That's good not to have search engine errors. I don't have any because i use ixquick, this is 100% clean. Giving the same results as in any other engine except maybe not in the same slot but real close. Format is like Google simple. I have no idea why people don't use it instead they want the engine to flood their pc of spy malware etc. The only engine that is clean besides it's sister site. Just like porn and download sites there several that will flood you and alternatives are clean.

    "The programs selected for use in the guide gives us accurate reports on the machine's status... " Yes

    and they are the required logs needed to receive competent help in this forum." No you don't need all of the logs only the problem makers. If doesn't show anything or it's already taken care of it's a waste of time to upload. Like here my problem is Spybot nothing else. This scanner you recommend may or maynot find anything.

    Out of the several registry and rootkit listed in the files, only 2 sections you recommend to remove. I believe there are more that's safe. I have to get around to post on the spybot forums if nothing i'll have to do trail and error myself after i make boot system restore cd. I still don't understand why the old and new come up with different files maybe it's the same but called different.

    I do appreciate your time but there's got to be more than 2 safe to delete entries. I'd even gamble on it.

    Yes, all of the logs ARE needed plus even possibly others to be thorough. For instance - it is often, from viewing the logs, that we have to tell posters to "update the version/definitions database and re-run". It is also very helpful to see what the different tools detected and/or removed...that isn't a waste of my time.
    :major Yet none of the other removal experts found anything else that needs removing. In your software thread you stated " i'm not a expert, i know some things but nothing advanced ", so why are you questioning my training??? You have already been gambling by taking an outdated operating system online and using outdated security tools for protection (including Ad-Aware 2008 whose support ended January 31, 2010).

    * This thread topic is finished...poster deems attaching required logs " a waste of time to upload ".

    Viewing empty updated logs or logs that already been safely taken care of isn't a waste of your time? So you need all of the programs listed in the link a log or you can't properly help. Someone will be running programs for hours finding nothing.

    "Yet none of the other removal experts found anything else that needs removing." I see only your post. People can look and not help, they can also just snoop or annoymous copy it to use it for whatever reason. Same goes in real life lots of people need help and lots of people who can Don't. I see no one saying i find nothing, we both know nothing is a lie. Your help really not that good when i'm challenging it and kept bothering me just cause it's old when the os has nothing do to with a attack, you can have the latest os and still be attacked. Well this old is probably cleaner than your system. You said it's bad NOT to have search engine faults so you must get them, i don't which means you didn't know about ixquick. Assuming you are against me and favor the other person in the software thread your registry must be flooded of errors if you use only ccleaner and also cluttered up. You must also get lots of attacks if i didn't use ebay i would get Zero. Yes i've done Zero for years before i started to ebay, luck has nothing to do with it, part of that time i was running 98 and bulk of it was on firefox version 2. Yes i download alot using resume and torrent, even porn and other things no attacks. You just have to know what you can visit without a attack. It can be done it's not hard. You being the expert so you say should already know where the attacks come from and avoid them but you don't. I could run Win 95 and still beat you in the number of attacks i get and still have a cleaner registry. No if someone doesn't have a updated os, it's automatic bad. False.

    There's still more than 2 problems in the logs that's safe to delete. You are supposed to know the registry as you say but apparently you only know a few things about it. You know about spybot probably since the beginning but still have no clue why a old and new are different results with same updated defs. You don't know the opera problem which is likely what i said it is and may even be one of those errors i didn't delete. Registry can cause browser errors you know.

    Complaining or whatever you want to call it on what versions i use isn't going to solve the problem nor is it the cause. You can't fix the problem unless you get the source. Scan with the newest defs would still be the same even if i was running the latest windows and browser or anything else.

    I was hoping i could avoid during trial and error is why i posted but apparently i should have instead of replying in topics to which select people are too stubborn about old versions and cleaners that are not in the recommeneded link. Yet my registry is cleaner, avoid most attacks that which of what i gather here people keep getting attack by the same thing not using a alternative which is usually produces the same results like ixquick (there is no alternative to ebay it's a monopoly, search engines, downloads, porn etc. are not), want me to run cleaners and constantly point to a link like i'm dumb which will not solve the problem i posted, want me to post empty logs or logs that which have taken care of properly doesn't solve the problem either and brags or whatever you call it to use just 3 programs that just find everything which i already proved false.

    Counter, call me a liar, whatever. There's nothing more to discuss, it would only prove useful if i could shove my facts in your face on video and post it to prove your os and older versions, registry cleaners and so forth. Let's not forget you found only 2 safe to delete entries, i'll be showing more in the video once i get around to doing it.
