OT Spy WareShows 2 problems in Registery?
Anyone know anything about this?
"Search Explorer Bar/ AcrolEHelper.AcrolEHlpr0bj.1 / HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcrolEHelper.AcrolEHlpr0bj"
This is what it says and then states that it is in my "Registery" and under "Danger" Says Severe!
The Window Washer removed all of the cookies, but not this but could not or did not touch the Rigistery!

I thought it sounded like a possible Adobe Acrobat entry and according the some threads I saw under Google, it is.
Nothing to worry about Vince.

also good info here:

Sounds like you have nothing to fear, however, it wouldn't hurt to go to Adobe's website and be sure you have the latest version. Hell, it's free!
I'm presuming you already have the latest update for the Spyware....

I couldn't find any reference at Spyhunter headquarters, but I only glanced.

one of those threads had a guy that removed the registry entry and Adobe still worked just fine for him.

Thanks!!! After reading everything, looks like sort of their scam to get you to buy their program. Window washer removed all of the cookies I see and this one is part od Adobe! 100% Appreciate your help.

Use Ad-Aware download it from download.com and check for definition updates then run the scan. It's all you need, and it's free.

MAKE IT THREE!! I use Ad-aware also. They used to suck at getting the updates out though. They seem to be trying harder now.
Spybot is at least as popular, if not more.
this free guy rated extremely well in a recent PC magazine. I'll be using it as my antivirus.

If you configure ad-aware set it to deep scan your registry and also within archives

the advantage to buying gives you realtime protection, since Im poor I just check for updates and run the scan once every couple days
