Ad-aware

[shannon]

I used ad-aware to scan my files and found a couple of
spyware, I deleted the rest, except one which I'm not too
sure whether should I go ahead and delete, cos it has
something to do with the registry. It shows "Regdata"
under software\microsoft\mediaplayer\player\setting.
Guess it has something to do with window media player. Is
it safe to remove this? Cos, I'm afraid that it might
affect the registry after removing. What has media player
to do with spyware or data miner? Pls advised.

Yes! You can remove anything that has to do with media player without any
bad consequences!

What a question! Media Player is the crown prince of spyware.

identify player' tracker,spyware.

Quarantine anything that you're not sure of. That way, if you find that you
need it, you can always click: Open Quarantine List, select the item, and
click the Restore button. Never just Delete an item, even if it seems that
it wouldn't be needed. I once deleted a data miner, and found that Family
Lawyer wouldn't run without it. I had to uninstall and then reinstall the
program. From then on, I Quarantined everything that I thought of deleting.

The default scanning options already quarantine before deleting.
