Hi,
A few questions.
1)Is Flashget safe or is it a trojan? I read somewhere that it might be installed by a backdoor trojan. If so I need to get rid of it.
2)I’m having problems with access violations messages now and again with Spybot S&D, including when I shut down. The latest one:
“Access violation at address 004B6BF9 in module ‘teatimer.exe’.Read of address 00000010.”
Do I need to worry?
Grateful for help.
Flashget is consider as an adware for more than just one antivirus.
Anyway, it shouldn’t be producing a teatimer problem…
What happens if you try to reinstall spybot?
By the way, try Free Download Manager instead.
Hi Tech,
Sorry I forgot to mention that the questions are unrelated, so the Flashget question has nothing to do with problems on Spybot S&D.
On Flashget, if I had it a long time, do I need to worry?
Separately on Spybot S&D, the problems seemed to start only when installing or uninstalling programs, or disabling applications. Should I reinstall or is this a software bug?
I’ve dropped it some years ago… I also consider it as adware.
I’m not an expert on Spybot, but, generally, reinstalling will give us a fresh condition to troubleshoot.
OK will have to do that later as I have something to attend to away from the computer that will take some time.
Will update maybe tomorrow.
If you try a forum search for spybot and access violation there has recently (today or yesterday) been a topic about this S&D problem. I’m not sure if it is/was OS related.
What is your OS ?
Apologies to everyone.
Have been busy and am only now able to get back on the computer.
DavidR, I could not find the post you referred to.
My OS is WinXPSP2.
Strange I can’t find it either now and I wasn’t dreaming about having seen it.
So all I can think of was that it might have been about SpywareBlaster, not Spybot sorry.
It’s OK.
If anyone has a solution please let me know.
I might also look to see if there are any Spybot S&D Forums I could check…
