I just ran Spybot after running Spy Hunter and it identified a problem
named eAcceleration. That problem was apparently created by having run Spy Hunter, at least according to the info Spybot produced. What exactly is eAcceleration and should I be concerned? Thank you. |

Look in Spybot Advanced Mode\Configuration\Products. eAccelerator is included in the malware list. Spy Hunter is known as a spy-installer. As to what eAcceleration does, take a look in the safer-networking definitions in the malware category. http://www.safer-networking.net/es/...licy/index.html Spy Hunter is included in this list.

SpyHunter is not on the list of respected antispyware apps. AdAware, Spybot,
Hijack This, CWShredder are the only ones I trust. Uninstall it and run another full scan with Spybot, and also AdAware - latest versions, updated.

Thank you very much.
Is AdAware, then, not the same thing as Adware from LavaSoft? Thanks again.
