The reason I asked is because spamming from your IP address is not the same thing as spamming from your computer. Someone could possibly have been using your wireless access point to send spam from *their* computer using your IP address. Your detections seem to be for inactive malware - someones post of a script snippet. To get un-banned you will have to contact the entities that banned you. Usually, their web pages tell you how to do this. That said, it is *still* a good idea to run some antimalware scanners to be more confident that your machine is clean.

It's really not designed to run in safe mode; You should be using it in normal mode windows; so that windows loads all the drivers and provides all of the registry keys which are not necessarily online while in safe mode. Your findings sadly, are not based on the intended design of the software; nor the methodology the researchers and developers used for creating it and the definitions. It's truely important for it to get a look at your system without interference; ie: safe mode, or just scanning a slave drive. -- Feel free to steal this tagline!

One that's easier to use for firsttime users is CurrPorts from Nirsoft. It's a freebie, by the way: http://www.nirsoft.net/

Thanks Oh, in that case you might send an email to abuse at whoever has banned you and tell them what you've done to clean your system. |
