Search and Destroy Spybot

I recently added the search and destroy spybot software. I ran the program today after I ran Ad-Adware. The Spybot shows I have Windows Security Center Anti Virus Disable Notify and Back Web Lite. There are about 51 files under the Back Web Lite. I have no idea what that is or what to do about it. Should I selct fix it for this or leave it?

It would seem you can keep this one.
Concerning Back Web Lite, see the first two references here
http://www.google.com/search?source...rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-31,GGLD:en&q=Back+Web+Lite
It would seem that you can delete this one, but backup first in case you decide you want to restore.
You can also run AdAware SE Personal

and see what it recommends.

I also have the backweb lite come up on SSD.

I found out that HP uses this to check for updates on my PC. Also McAfee uses this as a scan checking to see if it's software (virusscan 9) is up to date.
From another thread I posted.....http://windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=44234
What I found....
From the backweb developer: Compaq, HP, McAffee, F-Secure, Western Digital, Logitech, Kodak and IBM are some of BackWeb´s customers. Each of these vendors bundles a customized BackWeb client into their products that are then shipped to their end users. These companies use the BackWeb client to distribute drivers, software updates, patches and critical information from a secure server at their site directly to their users' hard-drives.

Since I don't have McAfee and I did have Kodak, which I deleted, I went ahead and deleted the backweb lite. So I hope I'm OK. I kept Windows Security Center Anti Virus Disable Notify. Do you know what it does?

 

chickbull--I think it is a tool that monitors whether or not you have antivirus running at startup. Sounds like something quite helpful. Can't imagine why SpybotS&D alerts you to its presence.

 

I've gotten the same threats before too.

Why does Spybot-S&D flag changes in the Windows Security Center?

More detail

What Antivirus do you have? Many use back web lite as a means of updating virus definitions and news. If you can locate the full file names associatied with back web lite, they may well contain the name of your anti-virus program...if so, do not delete or mess with back web lite.

 

I have Norton Anti-Virus 2005
