The new variant of SpySheriff supposedly deletes Ad-Aware and Spybot (possibly others).

If anyone has a copy of this pest, please attach a copy of the file to an email addressed to Team CCSP (<-- click on this link)... Tony Klein will make sure it is made available to all of the anti-spyware vendors.

You could also send it to our very own Die Hard (<-- clickie)


[ LS SteveJ ... as this is not an Ad-Aware Support Forum, all submissions are made available to the entire community, not just one vendor.  I trust you will understand ... please continue to ask for things, with the understanding that copies will be made available to others as well ]
