spyware beta and Adlogix identified item

G

Guy Story

Hello everyone. Been having mixed results with the new spyware tool
from MS. I do understand it is still in beta and my post is not a knock
at it. Overall I am happy. What is bugging me is a reoccurring issue
and the spyware tool has not been able to cure, just identify this
issue. More cleaning is obvious at this point. The spyware tool is
identifying mjiyvc.exe as a file belonging to Adlogix and being called
swin32. It is being called a BHO. It does not catch the rest of the
files, including mjiyv? with exe and xml extensions(letters a thourgh f
inplace of ? and all are there, the xml files are not plain text),
mjiyv.dll. I can delete them but they reappear after a reboot along
with the blank key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser
Helper Objects\{D33B651B-A705-4340-8FAC-793B2A09A0BD}. They are clearly
getting called from some place than the
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run (and HKLU same path)
regestry keys. Running the repair on IE 6 did not help. Searches for
Adlogix just turn up news on the company that is dated. Is there a news
group for the spyware software yet and has anyone else had this
particular fight?

Thanks,

Guy
