Re: spybot 1.4 scan result

AlexChris

Are you running Spybot in Standard or Advanced mode? Do you scan for tracks too?

Too many people will spit their dummies if you post the logs here, but if you
configure Outlook Express as your newsgroup reader
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171190/en-us) & 'attach' the logs I will be
only too pleased to look through them for you.

------------------

Spybot have their own forums

There maybe 2 or 3 Windows Firewall detections that maybe red. My advice is to
right-click them & EXCLUDE FROM FUTURE DETECTIONS because if you delete them the
next time your machine is started you will have that annoyance in the System
Tray regarding this issue & when you fix the error Spybot will pick the same
entries up again. That's why the EXCLUDE option is a good idea

Some Malware install wallpaper on the Active Desktop. This is probably why
Spybot S & D picked it up

Nass recommended that you post the HiJackThis log but unless you know what you
are doing it won't do any good. He forgot to mention you should create a
directory say C:\HiJackThis (for example) to run the application in as you
should never run it from the Desktop. The developers say this is very important

Also, about HiJackThis. Its a great program but it fails to delete files that
are in use for obvious reasons. So, even though you do a system scan & delete
checked when you scan again its still there. Furthermore, it fails to detect
rootkits

Using the above to scan it gives the following
1/ Microsoft windows.Avtive Desktop
2/ Microsoft Windows IE FirewallByPass
3/ SURFSPY (DELETED)

Do I let Spybot "fix the problem" for item 1 & 2? Please advice.

As from yesterday, it seems to take a long time for this newsgroup dialog to
appear. Just wonder if it is due to Surfspy as this is the first time S&B
detected it....thanks
