Hello. When I run McAfee antispyware software, I often get this: Dialer-182. It is found in:
Registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Freeware

I am not sure how I can get rid of it. I always click remove all the files and then the next time I run McAfee antispyware, I get the dialer 182 again. Here is my Hijack log. Please advise me as to how I can remove this or if I have any other problems. Thank you.

Hi safaddict...if it's being found in the registry only, it's essentially just a text string - a leftover from a previous infection. If there is no file reported as being Dialer-182, it's nothing to worry about.

Can you locate this file:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTRAY.EXE

Right-click on it and select Properties. Does it show it's a Microsoft file? There are some trojans that use that file name.

Your log looks clean.

Thanks. I looked at the systray and it does say that it is part of the Microsoft corp. Well I guess that if the dialer 182 thing is not a problem I'm done. Thanks for your help.
