RE: Microsoft Phishing Filter Add-in for MSN Search Toolbar



Ok Panda_man , I have Windows XP Professional with the latest patches.
I use CounterSpy in my common user account, AVG Antivirus (all users),Zone
Labs Personal Firewall(all users), Cloudmark Anti-Phishing Toolbar(all
users), Spy Sweeper 4.5 (Adm account) and Lavasoft Ad Aware (Adm account).

After scanning my whole PC for the first time with Spy Sweeper, the scan
result as following:

c:\documents and settings\ricardo grecco.magnetizer\local
settings\temp\antiphishing\4d122e84-f372-4351-a5aa-5688ef0485ac.dat". Access
is denied

c:\documents and settings\administrator\local
settings\temp\antiphishing\4d122e84-f372-4351-a5aa-5688ef0485ac.dat

The program itself recognized the folder and its content as a possible
rootkit but could not get rid of it.
I have changed permission for the folder and could even delete it, but it
comes back and forth as I rebbot my machine. Cannnot delete it

Thanks for your hint about scanning with Panda, but this is not the case due
to my high security defense wall.

Thanks if you have something else to help me solve this issue
