Lisa, Open spy bot and click the restore button, then look at the cookies before you delete and uncheck any that have WS_FTP in them.

I don't know if anything was associated with WS_FTP Pro. I had a few other problems, too, like my digital camera software not working and had to reinstall that, too. Do we have to keep the spyware on our computers in order for other software to run properly? Kind of seems illegal to me. I didn't restore anything yet. As for doing a system restore, I would have to go too far back and would lose too much.

There is also another thing SpyBot does and that is "fix wrong application paths" and "missing DLL's) which is usually bogus. On every PC that I've installed it, it finds a dozen+ "missing DLL's" and "wrong application paths". You never said if you checked all boxes in the results and removed all of them. Whether or not, you need to run the SpyBot restore function to put back what it removed & changed. When you run it again, only opt to remove spyware, malware, and various media player paths, etc. Just don't fool with the wrong app paths and missing DLL areas. Also, if you check the boxes next to some of the IE entries, that will remove too much as well. You just have to read about each one's description and decide if you want it removed. Once you've restored what SpyBot did, maybe things will be back to normal. Or maybe a system restore will work if you are on ME or XP Pro. Check the WS FTP folder for an ini file (.ini configuration settings), that's where the WS FTP logins are. You can't read the passwords in it, but you can see the usernames. If you can find the file in SpyBot's backup folder or maybe the recycle bin, you can just put it back in the WS FTP folder to get them back. -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
