A Spyware Program I d/loaded from M.G.

Hi Everyone:

I have a question.

I've been d/loading a few of the programs from here at M.G. this
morning and doing some scans for viruses and spyware. I am
not seeing any problems at this time. Just sort of interested
to see if any scans show up anything on the computer.

I d/loaded one program called Spy Bouncer, from here at M.G.
It scanned and has founds some problems with my computer's
registry and also a few files.

The thought occurred to me to find the list that you
all posted for spyware programs that shouldn't be
used. I found the list. Spy Bouncer is on it.

I don't know what to do now. I did not let Spy Bouncer
fix anything yet.

I did this same thing awhile back, but had found a software
program on the Internet, (not here at M.G) and scanned with
it and it found a huge number of problems. M.A. talked
to me about that and said just disregard it as it wasn't
a good program to use. I don't know if I've done the
same thing again or what.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Maggie

Hi Major:

No harm to my computer from running SpyBouncer.
I didn't let it fix anything. Most errors it found
were in registry and I don't know anything about
that and was, frankly, afraid to try to have it
fix those items. Something interesting about
those registry items. I made note of the items
listed by SpyBouncer and did a search on
my computer for them. ALL of them are related
to the program Omniguard Anti-Spy Program.
That is the program that I scanned with
a few months ago and was very worried
about the results of and wrote a thread
here and you wrote back reassuring
me that it wasn't a good program to
use and not to worry about it. So, at that time
I did the "add-remove" command and
thought I had gotten rid of the thing.
After seeing those registry items,
I went into "my computer" and looked
at "program files". It is still there. I
tried to find "uninstall" within the
Anti-Spy Program folder but there
isn't one.

As far as the "list" goes, the only thing
I know about it is that I recalled seeing
it here at MG and thought I might check
it out, just for curiousity's sake, to
see if Spybouncer might be on it.
It was on the "list". That's all I know.

Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.
I'd be interested if you have any
comments after you run Spybouncer.

Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me
and to explain things. I really appreciate it.

Major, I also scanned with Ad-Aware, just now.
Came up with no problems at all. I think
it's best if I stick with the Ad-Aware Program.
