What version of SpyBot are u using?
Is it 1.2.beta 4 with the latest definition updates?
Normally,even 1.1.build 4 should be able to delete Marketscore.....

Just for info:
I checked my system with the SpyBot 1.2.b4 version
and with Adaware 6 with the latest reference file 18.02

Spybot found nothing
Adaware found:
Marketscore(Netsetter) RegValue Data Miner HKEY_CURRENT_USER:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\AutoConfigURL

My guess is,that Adaware is overreacting:
by checking this key,I discovered that this was MY ISP'S OWN PROXY that was detected as Marketscore key......

That would also explain why it keeps coming back after removing the key.....

i updated my Ad-aware 6 to build 162 anf refernce file

OR 121 21.02.03 it did,t find that reg.value but it did find a Xupiter reg key thank u for ur quick respons.

It seems that I was right about their overreacting behaviour with Marketscore........after installing the latest reference file,all of a sudden,there was no "Marketscore" anymore on my system,although I didn't delete it.....I think they did a "silent " bugfix,while adding new features too.....
