Hey!
I had a SpySheriff and I've one question.
Does SpySheriff is entering a concern with huge virus programmers corporations? I mean that SpySheriff is downloaded with hundreds of trojans and viruses from web, from WMF file.
Thanks, answer on my mail: progg@wp.pl
Ps. I'm from Poland and I used www.translate.pl for translating my problem. Sorry for "new words" :-).

I also got spy sheriff, removed it whit XoftSpy, which was no problem for the great program. But there is one thing i can´t get rid of. I can´t change my desktop bakround, it seames to be locked on my standard backround. Anyone how have sollowd this issue?
24. by Guest. 2006-03-06 15:03:32
I cannot start my firewall after removing spy sheriff is there something I have missed
25. by Guest. 2006-03-04 23:03:35
Okay, so I took care of all the components of SpySheriff that I could find. Then, the locked desktop properties issues arose (the wallpaper thing that 1/9 was speaking about). I ended up following what a previous comment said by deleting the ActiveDesktop folder in my registry and it did not restore itself. Is this going to be an issue at a later date or should I not worry about it?

I got tricked into buying it in december, It was wiping me out, I started up the the new windows onecare live set up system last week but that didi not help, then we put in the
Windows Defender Beta 2 and that took care of my problem,

EEK!! I got it too!
Windows is crazy!(beyond its normal insanity, I mean)
When I open the task manager, I see that the cpu usage is ALWAYS at 100%.
Suddenly an red (X) icon appeared on the system tray, saying that windows has detected infection by spyware, and that I should should click there to get rid of that.
...and I thought "wow! I never heard that windows had such a detection system! Cool!"
But then, came that instantaneous html page. saying my ip and browser...

This is a Very Serious Threat. I tried all of the removal tips on this and several other sites. It just got worse every time, until it crippled my system even in Safe Mode. Had to rebuild it from scratch. These guys should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Before you get spysheriff log off to another user and make a copy of your ntuser.dat file
if you get spysheriff go back to that user and remove the ntuser.dat file rename copy ntuser.dat to nturser.dat and make a new copy as a backup...
clean up program files\spy sheriff by using the uninstall spysheriff .exe in the folder
this will prevent the wallpaper like infected screen from being a problem to remove.

(Same person as 2 spaces below)
I have scanned my computer with spyware doctor and removed the files with the infections in it. But my background now starts up with the Active desktop recovery. I have deleted the mutated icons. In the tray, the icons volume and safely remove hardware were gone. It also says that the button that was used to install sypsheriff was still there under taskbar/start menu properties. The desktop icons also have a box around their names of the colour desktop display properties.
How can I fix active desktop recovery for every startup, stop this strange colour around icon names and get rid of the "Your computer is infected" button.

I removed most of SpySheriff successfully using the instructions above. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT items were not present on my computer though. The wallpaper is still locked so I will try the suggestion below. But now my computer keeps trying to access the internet. Norton Antivirus informs me msmsg.exe, and another couple of Windows executables are trying to connect automatically. They are fairly persistent so I have to keep blocking them with Norton. Any ideas?

Recently, a computer of mine was infected by spysheriff. The task manager was disabled like mentioned in this article. I went to find the wallpaper in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System suggested by Guest. 09/01/2006. There was also a file named disabletaskmgr. I tried deleting it and the task manager was able to start without interference. I restarted the computer and the file was back. I repeated the operation and it was successful. I found out that it has opened many internet tasks behind the desktop which made my computer slow. Why does this file disabletaskmgr keep returning and how can I prevent it returning?
Also, at the time of infection a few of my desktop icons were mutated and names such as zxczxc and asfds were all that were left of their original names. The picture also turned into a white paper-like background with a screen with other icons on it. Another discovery was that there was a small button in the bottom right hand corner of the system tray which when pressed upon appeared to create spysheriff. It will not leave and it dont know why, but once when disabletaskmg" was deleted it disappeard when my cursor was placed over it.
Can anyone help me fix my problems?

Spybot can remove most of Spy Sheriff except the part that gives you a bogus warning message on Internet Explorer. You have to delete C:\Windows\Prefetch after using Spybot.

I think i got spysheriff from APACHE WEB SERVER. Please excersise caution when installing this software/service. -flippo

I was hit by Spy Sherriff and for the first time in my life, got online to see of there is a class action lawsuit against this company. I am not a lawsuit oriented consumer but getting this software off has caused me to lose about six work hours in the past two days. Their intrusion must be illegal. Maureen
