Not all files named "spyrem.exe" are spyware; has someone actually looked at the file in question to see what it does or contains? We're investigating this to see if it's really the BulletProof anti-spyware tool, or a masquerading piece of spyware; I'll dup this against the other bug in which we're doing so. Thanks for your report! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 362052 ***
