SpywareBomb is a misleading application that may give exaggerated reports about potential risks on the computer.

http://www.symantec..../...-99&tabid=2
Infection Length: 3,469,312 bytes
Risk Impact: Low
Systems Affected: Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000

When the program is executed, it creates the following files:
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\3eolmc.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\albmhe.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\dbmusth.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\fntiemrs.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\ipseagr.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\meutr3fv.ocx
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\mrthrepf.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\scanning.gif
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\sporpmse.dll
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\SpywareBomb.url
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\unins000.dat
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\unins000.exe
%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Spyware Bomb.lnk
%UserProfile%\Desktop\Spyware Bomb.lnk
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\Spyware Bomb on the Web.lnk
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\Spyware Bomb.lnk
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\Uninstall Spyware Bomb.lnk
%ProgramFiles%\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\ipuhtens.dll

Next, it creates the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Spyware Bomb
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Spyware Bomb_is1

The program also creates the following registry entry, so that it starts when Windows starts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"SpywareBomb" = "C:\Program Files\Spyware Bomb [VERSION]\SpywareBomb.exe"

It then gives exaggerated reports about potential risks on the computer.

Please post it in CC as I can't login there for months already. Thanks!

Thanks for posting at CC. It should help by warning users who might fall by downloading SpywareBomb and installing it.

Paul already tried to fix the account many times. I can post there if I create a new account. If I go back, login will fail again. I can create another account again and post but problem will occur again and again.

It's not a problem with their board software but my connection
I had the same problem at Gladiator, Lavasoft, ASAP and other forums and was fixed after many months too.
I didn't do anything but my ISP.
It's tiring but I'm not losing hope to be able to access again other forums like CC.

I refresh the page but I didn't see your post yet at CC.

I have the same problem posting over at ComputerCops but I don't worry about it as one of the reasons I wanted to post there was to give my input about WinPatrol but as WinPatrol has become so rock solid for me I don't worry

Spywarebomb's sites are in the hpHOSTS file

A few days ago, at SpywareInfo, they had a similar one-time spam post, like this one, trying to "recommend" something called Spyware-Sweeper (my bolding, to show the differentiation between the "software" they were trying to flog, and the more respectable Webroot SpySweeper).

Every week, a different one, it seems.

Great! Thanks hewee!

I noticed the post at CC was moderated. That's good so no one will go spywarebomb website.

[Donna]

Now that's better

Thanks!
