I find Ad-Aware easy to use and eradicate spyware. When it comes to SpyBot, I have concerns whenever Registry entries show up as problems. (same concern whenever using any sort of registry cleaner) That is.......
Does the application (Spybot S&D in this case) ...remove the entire key and contents , or just the data or values at end of the string displayed?
IOW , is it generally safe to eliminate the items listed by SpyBot that exist in the registry?
I have ignored at least 6 that appear with each scan , which relate to my free version of Download Accelerator. I'm concerned it wont function if it cant run the ads , etc. Is there one type of registry entry in DAP that I should be concerned with , and allow S&D to remove? | |

I exclude DAP items because they are not true malware. You should too. | |

I have always allowed Spy-Bot to clean any registry entries it identified, and I have not had any problems. I can't offer advice re Download Accelerator, however, as I do not use that program nor others like it.

By the way - Spybot also blocks the Expedia.com domain as default. It drives a lot of people crazy. | |
