Ultimate Predator Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 After finding problem with the internet (loads of people use this PC), I scanned with Ewido, Ad-Aware and Spybot, alongside Outpost's Anti-Spyware to find problems. Only Outpost's Anti-Spyware found a problem, a piece of spyware called GoldenEye, whilst none of the others did (including Ewido). After re-booting back out of safe mode from scanning, everything is fine, so I recomened it highly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 23, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2006 It's both a monitoring & surveillance software for spying on users of a system for finding out what people are doing on a PC, e.g.; a parent could use it to see where their children goes on the web, a company could use it to make sure employees are actually working, etc. It's however a pay-for-it type of spy application and has to be manually installed - it isn't just going to end up on a system like malware. * Symantec info * Product info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredvries Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Finding just one entry by just one program could be a false positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Found 5 entries of the same type, don't know who installed it, probably someone who was using it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Found 5 entries of the same type, don't know who installed it, probably someone who was using it... Yep same thing here. I didn't install that app knowingly, so it's either a false positive or something installed without my knowledge. It also found 2 others that spybot and adaware didn't find. Very interesting..

Ultimate Predator Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 I didn't install that app knowingly, so it's either a false positive or something installed without my knowledge/ I don't think its a false positive, as I was having problems with the internet, and removing GoldenEye fixed the problem, so it fixed something.

Ultimate Predator Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 No, just the anti-spyware included in Outpost's Pro Firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
