SpyBot

[Lucias_Clay]

Suddenly SpyBot has been showing three new things(not as spyware) but as system internals it only started this recently. On the far right side it has wrong application path. Any ideas?

Oh the ones I am talking about

1.Windows Registry: HighJackThis.exe Wrong App Path
2.Windows Registry: npsdll.dll Wrong App Path
3.Windows Registry: kstarter.exe Wrong App Path

I'm not sure about the specific files, but there was just a thread about several companies who charge for spyware scanners stealing Spybot's code to do this and Spybot has announced that they loaded dummy items to scan for as a way of proving they were ripped off when these files show up in the thieve's version of a spyware scanner. I am guessing these could be those red herrings, especially since I think the author of Spybot also wrote HiJack This.

You have SSD scanning for System Internals, which is its basic registry checker. If the shortcuts to those files still work then don't bother with do anything about them, if the shortcuts don't work then you can either remove the dead shortcut or repair it. But it is adviseable to go int to the SSD options and un check the scanning for System Internals. It is not really needed to be done on a regular basis and it tends to be very aggressive/strict when scanning.
