I have been running Spybot Search and Destroy v1.3 with latest updates.
Everytime I run Spybot I have the same registry item listed to remove.

I have tried repeatedly to get rid of this stuff and it is still on my
machine.

Error during check!: Z-Demon (Ungültiger Datentyp für '') ()

MyWebSearch: Settings (Registry key, nothing done)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser
Helper Objects\{00A6FAF1-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D}

MyWebSearch: Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Code Store
Database\Distribution Units\{1D4DB7D2-6EC9-47A3-BD87-1E41684E07BB}
Thanks for any help.
Bob

Sometimes using Spybot S & D you need to do more than just the default
scans. For this problem in particular, you'll need to enable Advanced
Mode. Then click on 'Tools' in the left pane and make sure that
ActiveX, BHO, and System Startup are checked. Then, select each of
these categories and find the item you are looking for in the list.

For the ActiveX in particular, Spybot may not be able to remove it - you
may have to start the Registry Editor (regedit), do a search or navigate
to the key, and delete all instances found. Then go to system startup
and make uncheck anything that appears related, so that it doesn't
re-install on your next startup.

You must be right. I have scanned repeatedly with ad-ware and the
SysClean app. I tried safe mode and normal. Ad-ware did find
additional objects that SpyBot Search and Destroy didn't find.
Sysclean did not find any files.

After all of this Spybot still finds the Z-Demon everytime it is run.
Has not done this till recently.

Thanks,
Bob

I did the download mentioned 1.3.1 TX and that fixed the problem. I
don't get the error anymore.

Thanks for all of the great help!
