SafetyDefender MalWare is still on my computer. I notice it added an
"antivirus test" entry to my favorites list and often shows a MSIE tool
bar. MS anti spy shows me detection of it as the 2 threats spyaxe and
zlob trojan downloader. Norton internet security has never shown me any
sign that Norton is detecting it. MS anti spy offered me an opportunity
to remove the viruses and reset my home page, but I ran that
opportunity to no avail. It is inconvenient that MS anti spy does not
show on the XP task lists, because one has to minimize or close all
other applications to notice what MS anti spy has accomplished and take
advantage of its offered cures.
Why must the MSIE lose contact with the cache whenever a new window or
application opens? Do AV SW vendors cooperate to share awareness of new
threats and defenses to them?

This SafetyDefender MalWare is still on my computer. Why has
Norton/Symantec not removed it? Why has no one done sufficient harm to
safetydefender.com to make safetydefender crawl and stay back in its
hole?
My AV SW showed me an alert box when SafetyDefender attacked me,
offering me the choice of blocking a change to my browser home page. I
clicked to block, but SafetyDefender seized my home page anyway.
SafetyDefender spawns pop up ad browser windows which is a very serious
inconvenience since MSIE loses its back button function whenever a new
window or application opens. Why does MSIE have to do that?
I found the information in the thread which included message number
BEc2g.66$BO2.14@trnddc02 interesting, useful and disturbing. Thanks to
Gabriele Neukam for that reference. It looks like our AV vendors still
have too much to learn... BTW, when one AV vendor writes a solution to
a threat, do the
other AV vendors usually buy a license to distribute it or must the
customers of the other vendors suffer until each one writes a separate
solution?
