Talk:SpySheriff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No ad-ware or virus program can remove SpySheriff, and therefore is specifically dangerous. The only reason I got it removed is because I did a system restore, before thinking to restart my computer.

Actually..... Boot in safe mode, Spy Bot Search and Destroy, Adaware SE, final registry input. Complete removal, along with probably any other trojans on your computer. Floria L 00:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Floria L That is not true, check the wiki now & there are links showing you how to do it, be on topic :] --VandalRemover 15:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brave Sentry

This program also has a clone called Brave Sentry. A friend of mine told me he got a taskbar alert that downloaded the program. It has the same interface as SpySheriff. I'll make a Brave Sentry page that redirects to this article, if I ever figure out how to. Sabertooth 16:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] WHO THE HELL MADE SPY SHERIFF!!??

That would be indeed an interesting question to be covered by the article. As it speeks of "the company". --Jestix 12:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Jestix Thank you for saying that, we're currently making a "Possible Creators" wiki --VandalRemover 15:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Rider555 This has nothing to do with SpySheriff & therefore not something we need to discuss.--VandalRemover 15:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I think this link will help identifying who is responsible for SpySheriff: http://who.is/whois-com/ip-address/spysheriff.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uzaiyaro (talk • contribs) 04:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit revert

This was the justification for reverting my edit: "remove uncited credits; copyedit original sentence"

I work at a security forum in which I speak directly with the makers of SmitfraudFix and Smitrem; why was my addition inappropriate?

Why was the first sentence reverted? It was truly grammatically incorrect.

Please respond. Screen317 21:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I reverted your edit for the reason stated, "remove uncited credits". Any statements as to who wrote these tools would need to come from (be published by) WP:Reliable sources. What you have contributed seems to be WP:Original research, which is not allowed. You might also want to consider whether including these names would improve the encyclopedia or just be giving someone a free mention in it.
Where my edit summary says "copyedit original sentence" I was referring to the sentence your edits replaced, not to yours. The original sentence was "There is a tool called SmitFraudFix & SmitRem that will get rid of SpySheriff." I changed it to this. --CliffC 01:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Understood. Thank you very much CliffC for clarifying. Screen317 07:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
