Is this Adware/Spyware. HELP PLEASE.

[Tom Orley]

I have been using a little search-engine program called Craagle 1.8.

Kaspersky detects it as "not-a-virus:AdWare.Craagle.18", but none of the
other major Antivirus/Antispyware/Antiadware programs finds anything wrong
with it.

It does not seem to do anything malicious.

It tried to connect to
213.196.11.13
and
65.75.134.170.
blocked by a firewall.
before that quite a lot went out due to unrestricted port 80.

Is this bad?

What does it mean?

Can some knowledgeable person please tell me?

Thanks,

Tom Orley.

If you go to the Kaspersky website you will find that on

www.kaspersky.com/removaltools there is listed:

[01/21/2005] not-a-virus:AdWare.Visiter

So all you need to do is remove Cragle 1.8 from your machine,
download the removal tool from Kaspersky and run it, and all
should be well.

Try PestBlock from privacyanywhere (http://www.privacyanywhere.com).
It's very strong and popular spyware removal. Also it removes spyware
from LSP stacks! I'm very recommend to have it.
