But don't do it again :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-99538 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:29:03 +0000 Victoria 99538@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the info. I just uninstalled it. Should I still start my own thread? I just figured Tom knew exactly what I was going thru. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-99533 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:17:09 +0000 LH 99533@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Victoria. Hi and welcome. You should really have started your own thread. But anyway,<br /> <a href="http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/" rel="nofollow">http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/</a></p> <p>Edit. I would uninstall Spyware Doctor. It seems to have a few conflicts. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-99531 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:13:46 +0000 Victoria 99531@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi Tom, Very interesting thread! I keep getting this same message every morning. I also thought that it must have been something fake because none of my software finds it. It's definitely something to do with Trend because that's what use. I just downloaded Spyware Doctor. I went to a link for Spybot but Trend wouldn't let me in. Hmmm! Anyway, if this doesn't work I may need to ask you for a safe link of where to get Spybot for "FREE". Thanks! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-98132 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:24:49 +0000 elpaelpa 98132@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks guys.Ran Spybot multiple times (3) and deleted a couple things that didn't feel right and the problems gone.

Any way of getting this to stop popping up (easily I mean) or will this just be an annoyance (like my in-laws where)! It does say the incidence occurred while using download manager. </p> <p>Bartman-Strange behavior-Trend has started acting up if started from the short cut.Fine when run from the main menu.This started about the same time as I started getting the message.I'm going to delete the short cut and then reinstall it and see what happens.The answer can't be that easy. Tom :-/ </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-97732 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:25:51 +0000 ScottW 97732@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tom, GRAY_SML is a virus or threat name that Trend Micro uses. <a href="http://threatinfo.trendmicro.com/vinfo/grayware/ve_GraywareDetails.asp?GNAME=GRAY%5FSML%2E0Z1502">Here is an example</a> from their Threat Encyclopedia. You should check the log file for more details, such as the full threat name and the file, registry entry, or whatever-it-is that is infected.</p> <p>GRAY may refer to grayware, SML to spyware/malware/logger, and the rest is either a unique identifier or a heuristics code. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-97725 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:39:07 +0000 LH 97725@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tom. Did you update MB before you ran it ? And did you do a deep scan ? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-97721 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:30:06 +0000 Bartman 97721@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No, don't think so. As you said might be a false alarm. Don't know how to advise about warning message, though.<br /> Any strange behavior with your computer? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/gray-sml#post-97714 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:59:49 +0000 elpaelpa 97714@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Bartman-tried it-no luck.I realized I'm not turning off system restore before I scan.Think that could be the problem? I've never turned it off before!

Can't find any GRAY file on my comp. so I'm assuming it's a false read.If so, how do I get the darn thing to stop popping up? This just started and i can't think of anything I downloaded except an update from MS and some Ebay stuff. </p>
