C:\explorer.exe exploit

[hake]

Does Spyware Doctor, in any of its guises, defend against the c:\explorer.exe exploit?

Hi
I assume that the database will detect malicious code (Trojan/Worm/etc) in the running process and will deal with it.
Not sure on this though.

Hope this help. I believe that database search link is updated daily so you can find out if Spyware Doctor can detect a particular trojan/worm/spyware you have in mind.

However, am wondering myself, if the database is solely about spyware and not including their antivirus data.
