Apologies if this is in the wrong forum so please feel free to move it.
There is a spyware programme that is currently undetected. But I am told is being worked
on with an update expected soon.
It is called sygate.exe
Check your processes in "task manager" It can be disabled but only for the session. but it will continue to
affect frame rates until it can be completely and permanently removed. If "you" try to delete it it is rebuilt on each successive boot up.
My spyware programme is spyware doctor. If you discover this spyware and have another spyware detector contact them so that it cam be got rid off!

I don't have it...hopefully...I'm at school, so I can't check...

This is the reason that nowadays I'm extremely selective about what I install.

After all, with M$ giving the official go-ahead with the "made legalized" mess they themselves put in Vista... what did you expect?

This may be whats buggering up my computer.... cute.... very cute....

Spyware doesn't always have to actually be installed by the user.... It can do an automatic install without you even knowing. True, some spyware does come 'attached' to other .exe programmes, but majority of the time it does not...

All clear this end anyways  ;)

I honestly don't know how people get spyware. The only way I ever got spyware was installing stupid programs like Kazaa where it is obvious it has spyware. The only other place I could think of are bad warez and bad porn sites.

Automatic install? It doesn't just spontaneously install onto your system. The user has to do something to install it.

Same here dude. I have no virus scanner, with the default Windows firewall and I don't get spyware, or viruses. Heh..., the only thing protecting me is a costom HOSTS file, a hardware firewall (Dosn't really stop spyware), and Opera, the best internet browser.

I've had instances of spyware where I hav'nt installed ANYTHING on my computer since my last scan, and no, I don't use my comuer for warez and porn sites....
