I think my spysweeper can find out the code for me once the stuff is on my computer ;D. But the problem is that I am not sure how much I add?
Take these 2
Altnet
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp303\a0105690.manifest
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp303\a0105691.dll
Metadirect
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp307\a0108923.exe
As you can see Alnet has 2 not sure what one to put in or if both? Also as you can see the numbers/letters are all the same in the brackets and it only varies after the brackets so do I put all the stuff in the brackets. or do I put all the stuff in the brackets and the stuff after it?

Hi hoho,
I'm not really sure what you would like to see added where. ???
But SpySweeper is finding these files in your Restore Points. Removing them would make those useless.
To remove them, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore. The method is described here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039

Well yes thier in my restore points. But they are spyware/adware. Call alnet and Metadirect.
Name:
Altnet
Author:
Brilliant Digital
Category:
Adware
Threat Assessment:
Medium
Description:
Altnet is a program that is intended to keep track of uploads from Kazaa in order to reward people who are sharing content.
And the other one I do not know what it does.
But anyways my question was what do I add to spyblaster to make sure I never get that again. Because they somehow got on to my restore point. No clue how but they got their. Like in my first post. I asked what of that line of stuff do I put in?And If it is usefull you could put it in the next update. Because I have had kazaa for along time and this is the first time I have ever gotten this spyware.

Can someone plz just tell me what I have to add of this code to make my own custom protection from it?
Altnet
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp303\a0105690.manifest
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp303\a0105691.dll
Metadirect
c:\system volume information\_restore{244e073b-70b5-4faa-994b-3fe4ae3a5084}\rp307\a0108923.exe
Like with the stuff in the brackets it is all the same but it looks like the code I need and their are 2 from the alnet what one do I take?

Hi hoho,
I think if you block the number in the brackets there you will prevent System Restore from working.
So that does not seem a wise thing to do.
