Hi all.

SpywareBlaster or SpyBot has added SearchSquire.com as restricted site (to
prevent executing active context)...
....MS AntiSpyware now detects SearchSquire.com as AdWare and will delete the
"save" Registry-Entry:

SearchSquire Adware more information...
Details: SearchSquire is an Internet Explorer sidebar containing paid links
that open when you use search engines.
Status: Ignored
Elevated threat - Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the
range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent
back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge.

Infected registry keys/values detected
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com * 4


I would whish, the final AntySpyware is able to handle "Restricted Zone" and
"Always Block Cookies" lists correctly...

Thanks in advance

Hausi
 
Thanks for the report, Hausi - this is a false positive and has been widely
reported. Microsoft is aware of the issue.
