Macstorm Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ok, latest Spybot's detection signature (4/27) did the hit "Backweb Lite" on my 'always clean' machine, found 3 traces of it. Did a google search but I don't have any program associated to this adware, problem is when I try to fix it, a message appears saying 2 out of 3 entries cannot be removed and Spybot offers option to run at next restart so it can remove them. After, SB is still unable to remove 'backweb lite' entries. What's wrong? Is backweb lite a real adware or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Which Spybot are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Sorry for the delay, I'm using Spybot S&D 1.3<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Did Ad-Aware detect anything?If concerned, post a HijackThis log after running Ad-Aware and Spybot. Also, you may wish to get Spybot 1.4RC1 (RC2 is unstable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already tried trial versions of spysweeper, spyware doctor, counterspy and windows antispyware beta. None of these can detect the adware 'backweb lite' that only spybot 1.3 can (with latest definitions released yesterday). I'm guessing it is associated to legit programs so I decided to wait and investigate. I'll try spybot 1.4 beta as last resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macstorm Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 As I said before, I already tried MSAS but it didn't found nothing wrong, I guess I shouldn't be that concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
