Im running project 64 version 1.5, and when i run my spyware program...it says it detects spyware in the file RSP.dll in the plugins folder. I delete the file, and this renders PJ64 unuseable. I do have popups and adware on my computer as well, so something is causing it to happen (Could also be that massive IE bug). My question is, is this a error on Spybot's part, or is there some form of spyware embedded into PJ64. I am planning to reformat my computer..and i want to beat Zelda if i am not to install PJ64 again.

There is no spyware in PJ64.

You probably have a virus that has embeded itself in the RSP.dll. Next time, take more precautions to stop getting spyware or viruses.

I suggest having both spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and getting avg virus protection (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php) if you don't already have it. I'd also suggest replacing internet explorer with Firefox. B)

Good advice. Firefox is the best browser out there, and both adaware and spybot are good proggies. I would recommend nod32 av before avg, but avg is pretty decent :)
