Default Windows Defender - 12-13-2007 , 01:33 PM






I have a anti spy and anti virus ware that is installed and provided by my
ISP provider. I also have windows defender. Today duing the spyware check I
got a listing for a spyware, however my ISP program could not remove it or
quarantine it.
I ran defender and it did not even find the the hijacker program. Below is
the information on the file. Not sure if I can search for the file and just
delete it without any problems. Any suggestions. I not sure, now, if
defender is that good of a program.

Registry: hkey_local_machine \software\microsoft\internet
explorer\extensions\{e5d12c4e-7b4f-11d3-b5c9-0050045c3c96}

No anti-spyware product will find everything. You can try installing
additional products, like Super AntiSpyware or Spybot S & D, and see if they
can remove it, or you can seek further advice in an appropriate public
newsgroup on malware (this is a .NET programming group).

Here's a group you can reach through Google Groups if you don't use a news
reader:
