hard to identify CLSID

7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045
Can't find it in the Klein list or in my registry, if it's even there. Doesn't show up in IE manage add ons as currently loaded or previously used by IE. But Spybot listed it as registered with IE. Possibly got it by surfing sites with racy content...could it have 'registered' but is now gone? No effects, but still can't determine if it's on the pc...seems not. Running XPsp2 with IE7.

 

Did Spybot S&D detect this key? If so, was it removed? If not, attach the scan results from Spybot.

 

Spybot has not reported anything relative to this CLSID or key in any recent scans. Reference to it just shows up in tools/bhos, starting about a week or so ago. I viewed the logs in docs&settings/appdata and there's no unknown or unexpected bho or CLSID there. I find no unusual activity or functionality of any sort with Windows or while web surfing. I can always delete the entry in Spybot tools/bhos and move on.

 

See this thread below and attach a log. I would like to check something if that's ok.

Thanks, here's the log...I see the bho, not named, and the CLSID, but that's all.

 

Scan with HijackThis and check the boxes for the following entries:

Thanks. HJT fixed the entries I checked off on, and the CLSID in Spybot.

 

Good Deal!
