    Are these false positives? I know ntsvc.ocx has something to do with visual basic and I don't have that installed anymore. But the other 2 I don't know what they are. I scanned with Ewido, Trojan hunter, MSAS, McAfee AV, Ad-aware, Spybot D&D and zone alarm anti spyware and nothing came up.

    If you are a user of IE-Spyad or Spybot's Immuization or Spywareblasters Restricted Sites protection....sgrunt.biz is in their respective database. If you look in the registry location and the dword value is 4....it's an IE Restricted Site entry.

    LOL Thanks for the answer I was thinking maybe that's what it was. Now what is the other one that claims it's winspy?

    IMO it have to do with visual basic, and is it a false positive.

    You're welcome!:)

    I use PestPatrol only OD, in particular for detecting RiskWare.

    Indeed PestPatrol is very cool:cool: , but like you said: be careful with the FP's!

    That is why I don't have it, too many FPs for me.

    For sure a lot of FP's, but remind, Pestpatrol is the best on the market in detecting Riskware......;)

    Therefore my advice: use it, but only OD, and only for detect Riskware.
    And don't forget: don't delete anything without you are 100% sure what you are doing!*puppy*

    When you are not: ask first advice what to do, for example here at Wilders...:)

    Yeah, if you're in doubt ask like I did. Asking here is always the best place to ask. ;)
