Re: Trend Micro Housecall

Here are the results.

Firstly, Yes I did have two versions of Java. Version 1.4.2_07 and v5> update 6.
I eliminated 1.4.2_07 and updated to version 5 update 8 as per advice.
I installed and ran super anti-spyware and found several tracking> cookies and
worm.Svxhost/32 which were deleted. I then followed your multi_av.exe instructions and
ran (in safe mode)> all the tests. Sophos and Trend micro came up clean but Kaspersky
found amongst other> things "trojan downloader.BAT.Ftp.ab" which it deleted.

After all this I wonder what good Norton 2006 is.
I run Norton 2006, Spybot, spywareblaster, ad-aware, crap-cleaner and> now BHOdemon2 on
your recommendation. I also use Registry First aid to> clean up. Windows beta defender is
also in the PC.

Is this all necessary? I ask because you don't mention spywareblaster> in your first
reply to my post.

What is your best suite of protection on a day to day basis?

Best regards and thanks for your help

If you don't practice Safe Hex and on't maintain you computer with all Critical Updates,
HotFixes and security related updates then yes, they WIOLL all be needed.

If you learn to practice Safe Hex and keep yopur PC up-to-date the use for many anti malware
applications is mitigated.
