Midaddle

[Arthur]

Everytime I scan my microsoft antispyware, it finds
midaddle and then removes it. But then it just comes back
minutes later. Please help me figure out how to remove it
for good. Email me back at (e-mail address removed) with any
suggestions. Thank you

Howdy Arthur ... issues posted to newsgroups are usually answered there
so that all may benefit. Private email support is used in certain
crucial circumstances, but your issue is not one of those.

Suggest you ensure you have the latest refreshed version by clicking
Help, About MSAS. The current version is .509.
If that is not the case, obtain it via this link :
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Install on top of the current version installed. It will also contain
the latest definition file. Then read this Tutorial on how best to
utilize it : http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial98.html

Midaddle installs 2 copies in your user profile temp
directory in addition to the main infectant. You have to
knock out all three to keep it from reinstalling. Here's
a website that gives you more info:
