'Webroot Spysweeper' and 'Powerstrip'

[crazylegs]

Hey all...

I recently installed 'Powerstip' onto my system to see how it compares to CoolBits and Riva for OCing my 6600GT!

However, in a subsequant Spysweeper Sweep fo adware... it finds Powerstrip as being:

'...an Internet Explorer toolbar that has been reported to reset affiliate IDs whenever you visit certain sites, in order to steal commission fees.'

How, if at all does this affect me???

Would it be OK to restore it or should i just use Collbits and Riva...???

Thanks guys and girls!

Powerstrip has no spyware in it. False positive.

There is an adware called PowerStrip, looks like this: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_130966.htm Maybe the name alone is tripping the detection?
