What programs have built-in Aureate/Radiate or WildTangent spyware?
I happened to scan my computer with Spybot Search & Destroy and it found registry keys, folders and files infected with Aureate, Radiate and WildTangent spyware.
Aureate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSID{EBBFE27C-BDF0-11D2-BBE5-00609419F467}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib{EBBFE26D-BDF0-11D2-BBE5-00609419F467}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInterface{EBBFE289-BDF0-11D2-BBE5-00609419F467}
C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32amcis.dll
WildTangent:
(Folder) C:WINDOWSwt
(Folder) C:WINDOWSwtwtDRM
Radiate:
(Folder) C:WINDOWSamc
The questions are:
How can I delete these spywares without making the underlying programs unstable or not working?
How can I know what program installed them?
What programs have built-in Aureate/Radiate or WildTangent spyware? (so I’ll never install them in the future)
Thank you very much.
