It would | be better to confirm or deny the use of the most recent version of the | removal program. What if version 'b' edits the registry *and* drops | another malware item and version 'a' gets identified and removed? Sure, | he can manually edit the registry entry he finds amiss back to what it | should be, but it would be better to execute an updated version of MBAM | or another removal tool such as SAS. What if MBAM itself was dropping a malware item after cleaning a machine? Who would ever know? SAS might do likewise! Just a thought! -- Dave |
