False Alerts w Anti-Spyware Programs!

Thanks for the input siliconman01 Tongue Did all the scanning from the on-line scan sights and no W32.Lewor-M or any of the numerous alerts that both Spyware Detector and SpyDoctor detected; which by the way neither detected the others alerts?? Undecided
AND, finally I purchased a license (I know, yeh!) for TH and did a scan in Safe Mode and Nothing Grin
So I'm satisfied COMPLETELY. Mmmmmm> do ya think there are seeds being planted to sell weed killer!!!
Thanks again

Welcome Aboard !  Cheesy
 
Very glad to see that you have scanned clean.  
 
False Positives are always a potential with any detection scanner.  I always recommend a bit of investigation when an unusual alert occurs on a previously clean machine because of this.  I've seen a few systems collapse because of too much user faith being placed on a particular spyware program's "you are infected" alerts.   Wink
