I have a anti spy and anti virus ware that is installed and provided by my ISP provider. I also have windows defender. Today duing the spyware check I got a listing for a spyware, however my ISP program could not remove it or quarantine it. I ran defender and it did not even find the the hijacker program. Below is the information on the file. Not sure if I can search for the file and just delete it without any problems. Any suggestions. I not sure, now, if defender is that good of a program. Registry: hkey_local_machine \software\microsoft\internet explorer\extensions\{e5d12c4e-7b4f-11d3-b5c9-0050045c3c96} 1.

You can try installing additional products, like Super AntiSpyware or Spybot S & D, and see if they can remove it, or you can seek further advice in an appropriate public newsgroup on malware (this is a .NET programming group). Here's a group you can reach through Google Groups if you don't use a news reader: alt.privacy.spyware
