SpyBot not deleting problems

It's probably a false positive. Spysweeper and several other security programs add that registry entry. If the other programs didn't detect anything, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

It's a trojan, according to Sophos:

The Cleaner can probably get rid of it:

I got the same thing, said to try running spybot on startup to get rid of it, found the files and then said they couldnt be removed because something had been deleted? But they always showed up, they only appeared on mine a couple days back too, away to try JMX's fix

 

Get a mac

 

Nah, i want to be able to run at least some programs you know

 

I sympathize even though I can't offer advice. I just spent nearly a month trying to get rid of Trojan.Vundo virus. Nothing worked, so I finally got a neighbor who used to run some kind of high tech computer geek company and he helped me get rid of it.

Spybot has never given me any trouble before, but now I'm scared I'll end up with your problem, too. I did play heck getting rid of ActiveX that Spybot found I had.

I wish you luck and hope this problem doesn't slow down your computer and fill up memory or worse. Good luck. Let us know what you did to get rid of it.

 

Did you try running Spybot in safemode?

 

Etrust EZ Antivirus seemed to wipe out Vundo with no problem on my machine.

Follow ALL of these steps, in order, and don't skip anything.

This is a good idea. Sometimes I have to do that with Norton to gain access to a particular virus, and it works. Also, I seem to recall finding a manual procedure to remove certain spyware through Spybot. It's a little risky because you have to go into the registry and delete specific files. I can't remember how I got the info, but it seems to me I googled the name of the problem, and found the procedure. Or not.

 

There's another anti-spyware program out there that tackled some of the problems Spybot didn't (or coundn't) handle, it's called ewido. Google it, you might like it.

 

Ad-aware usually picks up a few spybot doesnt aswell

 

I think you are probably confused here. ActiveX is from Microsoft and enables interactive content for the WWW.

 

You can right-click on the results and have spybot exclude it from further searches.
