    Hi, running Process Explorer allows you to view the dlls within a selected process. In every process, WebRoot's Spysweeper has injected a dll named "ssi.dll". This includes pgaccount.exe, procguard.exe and DCSUserProt.exe.

    I'm not having any problems, but am concerned that PG's global DLL injection function doesn't warn me about this DLL.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    You have spysweeper.exe on your protection list and it is a trusted program, therefore it can do pretty much as it likes with the permissions it needs to do it's job. In my protection list spysweeper has the following attributes. i.e. Protect from Termination and Modification - Authorised to Modify and read and Allow install of driver/services.

    With authorised to modify it can load it's .dll into other programs including those on the protection list.
