Ad-Aware SE Personal detected 2 Spyware strings in the registry of my
computer (XP-SP2). After much testing, I discovered the "Spyware" only shows
up when the Desktop icons are switched from "show" to "hide". As long as the
Desktop icons are kept showing after the "Spyware" has been deleted, nothing
is detected. Here is what Ad-Aware reports:
SpywareNo Object Recognized!
Rootkey : HKEY_USERS
Object :
S-1-5-21-608057341-1434109735-2322020850-1003\software\microsoft\
windows\currentversion\ext\stats\{72267f6a-a6f9-11d0-bc94-00c04fb67863}
SpywareNo Object Recognized!
Rootkey : HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Object : software\microsoft\internet
explorer\desktop\components
Value : GeneralFlags
Can someone please tell me if the Registry keys reported by Ad-Aware are
what are supposed to be there or not? If so, then Ad-Aware is making a false
report and there is nothing critical. If not, what should the named Registry
keys show. Perhaps with that information I can locate and correct the problem.
Thanks to anyone who has an opinion.
