    Seams that all the security programs we have installed still have bugs/lacks.

    It seams it is a adware registry entry and so a positiv finding, but.....
    It's used for displaying popups on websides such as explanations for some terms, etc. So i think its not real a dangerous one.

    Since I can not see the whole CLSID in the first pic....if it is the below reg entry then it is a False positive against a valid Microsoft Url Search Hook reg entry.

    I would also suggest checking if you have the latest update which is 441,108 threats.

    Well open up ewido and select the Reports section....select the scan that relates to this find and take a look at the remaining CLSID numbers to see it totally matches. The latest update of 441,108 threats does not flag that reg entry.

    I have that same 441,108 threats listed on Ewido, and it still finds that reg entry:

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    ewido anti-spyware - Scan Report
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    + Created at: 9:09:52 PM 9/25/2006

    + Scan result:



    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} -> Adware.DeluxeCommunications : No action taken.


    ::Report end

    I'm pretty sure it's a false positive for a legit Microsoft URL Search hook. See screenshots.

    That is odd because I got that update, scanned and nothing was found which is why I felt confident in making the statement. However....as you are showing the whole CLSID from your scan which matches the Microsoft URL Search hook....I agree with you that it's an FP.
