Amazing! TrendMicro reported 7 security threats, even after Avast,
Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster, CCleaner, Spybot Search & Destroy reported the
system was clean!

- Adware_AdClicker (Adware)
- Adware_Inet (Adware)
- Adware_MemWatcher (Adware)
- Spyware_KEYL_Astlog (Keylogger)
- TSPY_Dumador (Other)
- TSPY_MoSucker (Other)
- TSPY_Small (Other)

I'll remove these ... would you have considered them the cause of the
windows popping up and moving about?

I'm still shell shocked that all the "normal" spyware detectors failed to
find the seven attacks below - but more importantly is understanding them.

Which of the following should I most be worried about?
Do I need to change my bank passwords now?

- Spyware_KEYL_Astlog (Keylogger)

- Adware_AdClicker (Adware)

- Adware_Inet (Adware)

- Adware_MemWatcher (Adware)



- TSPY_Dumador (Other)

I'm sure you'll find out
Trend Micro's scan is very good IMHO.
I didn't even bother to install Ad-aware and Spybot S&D on my new
system as they never picked anything up on my old system. They served
me well in the past but IMHO they gave me a false sense of security as
they didn't find any malware that Trend Micro did.
Ccleaner is not meant to detect these kind of things, and Avast is a
virusscanner, not a spyware scanner, so whatever it finds spyware-wise
is a bonus.
Anyway, please let us know if the popups are still there or not.

I think these detections are setups by Trend micro. The identical item were
found on my computer and many others after a search on the filenames.
