Hi Engel

There is a problem with WDs removals and therefore
it is prabably needed to also run Smitrem.exe to be sure.

I tested it myself with Errorsafe and Spyfalcon and
WD is a good blocker but a "moderate" cleaner.........

I cannot see within any forums that WD removes Winhound
it is still a smitrem procedure.

I wish we had more from MS about these pests.........

I am not going to infest my own PC for a while

regards
plun
