Why do spyware scannes pic up different type of spyware?

No, AV scanners don't always pick up the EXACT same stuff because they have different databases and look in different areas of the computer. \n\nThe SAME thing goes for spy-ware scanners.\n\nThe SAME goes for other mal-ware scanners.

They are both files used by Norton AV.  Neither of them seem to be spyware or a virus, just proprietary code from Norton.

Use these scans below to clean any traces of spyware.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

seems like a spyware to me.. \nthe thing to do is scan for spywares on your computer using any good antispyware software. \ni would recommend spybot\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-8022-10289035.html\n--x--\nIf that does not work, then you have to delete the registry entry. BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN DOING THAT\nuse softwares like hijackthis to scan your registry and then carefully delete the registry. \nhttp://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10307556.html\nAGAIN :- BE VERY CAREFULL WHILE PLAYING WITH REGISTRY

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

There are many but the easy ones are Yahoo & MSN... you can go to yahoo.com & get their toolbar which has popup blocking & allows you to scan for spyware.

Most likely it is something causing these popup windows that AdAware hasn't been able to detect.  When I was infected by the SpySheriff virus, it took no less than four programs to detect everything and even then I still wonder.  I would suggest checking out CounterSpy made by Sunbelt Software - they offer a free 14 day trial.  It may catch what Adaware couldn't.  I also posted links to some additional virus and malware scanners that you can run for free.

I use one anti-virus but more than one anti-spyware.  For spyware I used Ad-Aware SE Plus and also Spybot S&D because each one finds things that the other misses.

It may have any type of spyware....! You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton,  AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software  and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at\nhttp://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

They might be in your system restore therefore they return. Turn it off and delete any previous restore points then run the scan again, reboot and turn it back on. Do another scan to see if they have gone. Also run adaware and get rid of any spywear on your comp.\n\nHope this helps :o)

Most likely spyware has "hijacked" your browser's search engine.\n\nFreeware antispyware software (esp. SpyBot) are not the best to detect and clean spyware. Some antivirus software can detect it, but you may need to configure it for full detection, and it might be unable to clean it.\n\nTry Windows Defender, downloadable from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx.  It's free.\n\nI recommend SpySweeper (http://www.webroot.com/) as I've found it can clean spyware other software can't. It costs US$30. You might want to try first a free scan (only) available on that page, to see if it can find out what you have.\n\nMeanwhile, you may consider stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer, and try Firefox instead. You get about the same functionality and it's less prone to spyware atacks than IE. At least you wouldn't get those nasty popups right now while you solve your problem. Available free at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/....\n\nHope this helps.

You are infected with SpyWare. Get a scanning program to clean it.

most of them are cookies, some are simple things like what websites you have visited, and some are programs.\n\nIf you want an explaination of what is being removed, after you do the scan, but before you delete them, double click on the name of the thing being removed and a short explaination will pop up.
