I was really concerned and had started thinking up conspiracy theories. Luckily I did not delete my SPSS data files; they have been restored and are in good working order. I have updated to the latest version of SpySweeper and found the SPSS issue corrected. Thank you for the SPSS false alarm post. I was really concerned and had started thinking up conspiracy theories.

I've been assured that it's been fixed in the next SpySweeper definition set (1083) that will be pushed to production by end of day today (2/6/08). I certainly hope that resolves the issue.

I'm going to have to reinstall SPSS on my computers, having deleted the quarantined files. I did a restore on my system but SPSS is still not working. I hope I didn't lose any data files.

Locally or remotely? After I released "SpyPal" from quarantine SPSS started working again. I've looked for the telltale files indicated <a href="http://uninstall-i-lookup.com/uninstallSpyPal.html">here</a> but haven't found anything. This post has drawn a lot of traffic from people searching on SPSS and SpySweeper. I registered the problem with WebRoot (case #102375). Any idea how SpyPal was installed? Locally or remotely?

I'll have to see whether my statistical software has now stopped working. I found spypal on two of my computers today and I also have SPSS statistical software on both of my computers.
