I'm new here so forgive me if this topic has been talked to death already. But the only new adware that I have to continually remove is the above named TagASaurus. It does not appear in the list of blocked pgm.s in my SpywareBlaster which I have kept up to date. What am I missing?

Hi,

What program is detecting "TagASaurus", and could you please provide a scan log from it? :)

Best regards and thanks,

The program I use to remove spyware is called Spybot Search and Destroy. I will have to look at it more closely to see if it provides a log. I haven't been aware of one up to now.

However, since TagASaurus is a common and notorious product shouldn't Spyware Blaster have it on its list to prevent/block? Or is there some other reason TagASaurus does not appear on my list of blocked pgms?

Thanks,

Tom

I found the log. I have included it as an attachment as it was too long to print here. Tom

Not only is TagASaurus an annoying adware that is not caught by spyblaster, but VX2.Favoriteman is another adware that Spybot Search and destroy picks up.
