Zwinky DLLs Found as Adware by avast!
With the latest VPS update with avast! antivirus protection program which I use for my home was on 25-5-2008. My avast! just updated it’s virus database as what I’ve set it. Nothing happened after the update, I just surfed normally, chat normally, doing what I needed to do, and I turned off my computer.
avast! began detecting the DLLs when I turned on my computer this morning. It keeps popping out it’s warning window saying it had detected some Adwares. I noticed, it was from MyWebSearch folder under Program Files. I went in to that folder and watched the DLLs deleted one-by-one.
What I did was, I turned off avast! On-Acess Protection feature and I reinstalled Zwinky, then uninstalled it on the Control Panel and wait for Zwinky’s and avast!’s updates on that one. There must be a some malicious codes on Zwinky’s that’s why it happened like that. We’ll just wait for their updates about this one.

Antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy.
I have tried so many different types of scans to help keep my PC running at its best and one thing that I discovered is that they all tend to find the same types of bugs. The main difference between them all is the price that you pay. Recently I discovered Search-and-destroy Antispyware and click at Search-and-destroy, and I really like it a lot. Antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is one of the best scans I have ever used and I’m sure that you will be very happy with it as well. Go ahead and give it a try, you will be glad you did! -
