| Good question. Based upon feedback, I often wonder why some are de-listed from
SpyWare
| Warrior.
| My feeling is if it was listed, avoid it.

| Have you tried looking in the Registry at...
|
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
|
| You may find it there and look for the key; UninstallString

Have checked out a bit more - it appears that these registry keys belong to Trend
Micro PC-cillon.
I've just got rid of Nortons Internet Security and installed Trend on my system and
then installed Spybot - same results as the other computer.
This computer doesn't have a problem. My best guess is that Trend has it's own
version of CyberDefender. Might write to Trend to confirm this.
This would explain why Trend and Windows Defender were not registering these keys.

Back to square 1.

Think I'll get the owner of the other computer to take it back into the shop to
examine it - beginning to think it could also be a hardware problem.
Will take one more look at the computer tomorrow and examine the add/remove area and
see what has been installed since the original installation.
