Pest Patrol - f*cksite

[Bill UK]

Had exactly the same thing (see my earlier post & the reply on this group)
but didn't get the additional problems you had (I'm running XP pro, maybe
that's why). It is a false positive caused by a bad update.

This is the reply I had from Pestpatrol;

Description:
Scan strings published yesterday may incorrectly identify this
registry entry:

HKEY_USERS\.default\software

as "F*ckSite". This is a FALSE ALARM. My apologies!

This false alarm is nothing to worry about. In fact, PestPatrol will
not be able to remove it because Windows will re-insert it into the
registry.

The false alarm was inadvertently introduced on July 23, and was
removed from new scan strings published a few hours later. If, after
updating, you have any further problems, please write back.

Again, my apologies for this. If you are ever in doubt about whether
a detected pest is a false alarm or the real thing, please send me
your Session Log. Do this by clicking the E-Mail Log button on the
Detected! Log tab -- see

Thanks Guys I apreciate it. When I went to the PestPatrol Site, I guess the
explanation hadn't been posted yet. It's a relief and I guess I have poor
timing.

Thanks Again
