Spyware checker

Hi

Trendmicros Housecall seems to be working now (Beta).

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

For reference/redundant checks I think this is great.

It also checks patches !

One thing that Windowsupdate didn´t show me
was one update for viral jpg,s. MS04-28 Strange !?

It might be interessting to compare this with MSAS
and post results.

But nothing about cookies !!

And should be used in addition to MSAS, we still need the feedback for MSAS.

Scanning, scanning--I seem to always be scanning--soon there will be Windows
jokes.........

<G>

(scanning--at least it will be better than the Panda scan--that was the
second time I've used their scan and lost the result at the end. I don't
think that will happen with Trend Micro's system which I like better.

Its better for a user to be angry about different programs
then just to be angry about MS.....

Well, I think we have a clear tactic now, maybe ?

OK - scan completed. Found 46 cookies, which I laboriously deleted--good
example of how NOT do design a results UI--both high threats and cookies are
mixed together, and there's no easy way to mass-check the large numbers of
cookies.

It found one "real" thing, it claimed: shopnav.d. It didn't directly
display the actual evidence found for this critter, so I looked up their
details on it, and didn't find any of the major parts of it--this doesn't
look hard to find, and I certainly didn't see the executable files mentioned
on my system. I let it remove it, but I rather suspect that this was either
a false positive of some sort, or perhaps a remnant of some kind which was
harmless.

It also claimed I'm missing MS05-009, which I haven't checked on. I'm
certain that WindowsUpdate believes that I'm up to date, so I want to double
check, perhaps by reading the KB article and manually verifying the files.

Good scanner, but I don't really think it found anything Microsoft
Antispyware hasn't with the exception of the cookies. I'm discounting the
shopnav.d finding, because I couldn't find the executables listed in their
article anywhere.
