I don't know how your log became so disorganized but this should make it easier for the experts to read.

I just wanted to ask what version of Ad-aware you were running? And if you have the latest definition file?..... There was recently a False Positive in a definition file, though this has been corrected.

Free version 1.06r1, SE1R91 08.02.2006, The up-to-date one. I'm thinking about it too. No one finds anything except Adaware such as A squared, MS antispyware, Panda online scan, PC pitstop spyware scan and webroot spy sweeper. While I'm waiting for the expert to look at my HJT log, I just scan away to see if any program can tag SpywareNo as Adaware said.

You are receiving that Ad-aware is finding that object, in fault.

What Ad-aware is finding, is a F/P (False Positive). I believed the F/P had been fixed, but it currently hasn't

This F/P is to do with ActiveDesktop. Many of SpywareNo / SpySherrif's downloaders (and other rogues) mess around with the desktop settings... especially the background ("Your computer is infected with blah blah blah") so this key has been flagged, although it should be flagging for those only infected with SpySherrif / SpywareNo. This should only affect users who have ActiveDesktop enabled. We will adjust our definitions accordingly... thanks guys!

Quote from LS SteveJ at DSLReports.com , who is a Lavasoft employee.

So.... You have no reason to concern about what Ad-aware is finding....

If you were infected, you would see this item:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [spywareNo] C:\Program Files\SpywareNo\SpywareNo.exe

This object should disappear with the next update. Otherwise, you can just add it to your ignore list:

1. Run a scan with Ad-Aware

2. Select the objects you want to add to the ignore list in the Scan Summary, Critical Objects, or Negligible Objects lists on the Scanning Results screen.

3. Right click and select "Add selected to ignore list"

4. A pop-up window showing the number of objects that will be added to the ignore list opens. Click "OK" to continue.

The object is now added to the Ignore List

Any other problems?

Regards,

Andy
