Scan & Repair Utilities 2007
If you have Scan & Repair Utilities 2007, you may have more than you bargained for, as it is now being reported as a possible rogue security application.
If you have it and you didn't knowingly and deliberately instal it, then by definition, it certainly is a rogue application.

No wonder there are so many spyware problems... people at least attempt to scan with antispyware tools, and the tools themselves turn out to be more malware.. like I said in a different thread... I always check out at least a few reviews/forums before downloading any security programs... can't be too careful...

This is a useful tool IMHO:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php
However, be warned that the database is quite small at the moment so a clear scan doesn't mean that your system is clean.
And this site has listings of suspect items:

It only lists the 2006 version at present, but 2007 seems to be the same
