    I have the Pest Dector 4.1 malware on my laptop, however, none of the files defender.exe; antispy.exe; tmp.exe show up in the Task Remover. Also none of the registry entries show up either.

    I acquired this on Sunday 9/26/10; is it possible that the malcreants have changed the code or am I missing something? Help!
