My virus program has detected the following spyware .

But warns me I delete it at my own risk because it might be needed by some program already installed on my PC.
Does anyone no of this particuoar spy?woody U.K.

If its spyware then Id say the programs running on your computer DONT need it.

Jow,
The bogey your anti virus software flagged IS a spyware. A google search will bring up quite a few sites that describe it and what to do to get rid of it.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
