Default Tools not working


Seems to be an ongoing theme. I also see noone has
responded to similar problems. I hope this is due to the
weekend.

None of the agents seem to be working. I also have the
message that 2 of 3 agents are activated. All show
activated, none respond with any information.

I have assumed that these are incomplete in the Beta
version. All computers I have loaded this on react the
same. Any info is appreciated.

I am running Spybit S&D with Teatimer and SD Helper
active. I am running Spyware Doctor. The latter seems to
be malfunctioning at times since installing this product.

Most disturbing is the repeated existence of
SearchSquire. I have never had a problem with this in the
past. Now it appears repeatedly no matter the tool used
for removal.

Are you loged on as an admin on the systems?

If i am not mistaken the SearchSquire is actually part of Spybot S&D, but I
could be mistaken, someone please verify for me.

No it is not part of Spybot S & D

Correct, but many (but not all) of the SearchSquire detections that folks
write in these groups about are the result of a false positive on an
addition that Spybot Search & Destroy makes to the restricted sites list in
IE.
