I scan my system and IT giveS me Elitum.Elitebar which the "Fix Selected problem "dont seems to fix it in the sense that when you rescan (even without log-in to the internet) the spyware will appear again in the search result.
It is located in HKey _USERSs-1-5-21-softwareLQ
and when I go to the registry on the left pan its listed as Local-AppWizard-Generated Applications(LAGA) and LQ is a folder under (LAGA)When the LQ is high lighted,
I have had this stupid Trojan on my computer the past 2 days now. Every 2 Min's i get a pop-up from Norton anti-virus 2005 saying it found "Trojan elitebar" and that it cant delete or repair it as cant access it. I have run spybot and adware i even tried the elitebar remover but to no avail. I even tried LQfix even that didn't work.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy sister did a Spybot scan and it apparently cleaned more than it should. After she did the "Fix", the computer crashed. When she tried to reboot, now all she gets is "Error loading operating system".We tried to reboot from the disk, and we get "searching from floppy, files not found""searching from cd-rom OK""boot from cd-rom, press any key", but when we press any key, nothing happens.Is there any other way to get this to boot from the disk so we can do a restore or file repair? I tried F8, but that didn't work either

When I try to update Spybot SD, it says bad checksum. I've looked everywhere to find out what it means, but no luck. Does this make my Spybot unreliable? I run it and it comes up clean. I'm just concerned about the update problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know nothing about computers but my boyfriend knows a lot and this has even stumped him. I keep getting notices about having the w32.spybot.worm on my computer. We've followed the instructions on symantec for removal, didn't work. We've formatted it by deleting the partitions, still came back. Then we did a low-level format, and it still came back. The website at symantec says it comes from Kazaa?! I don't have kazaa, and never have. I run Norton virus checks and it doesn't find it, or it says it already deleted it. I search my computer and delete all the little tftp zero byte files. They keep coming back, and I don't know what to do.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI started having a strange problem happening. Upon windows 2000 start up, a DOS window opens saying that it is an instance of svchost.exe running. Now I know this has to run but this is the first time that it ever opened a window when doing it. So I figured something in the registry got whacked. So I downloaded spybot and ran it. It found 153 things that I certainly didn't want running on my computer. I had spybot delete them all. I then restarted my PC. The DOS window still pops up on startup.
I then looked at my start menu to see if something got added there that is starting this up on start up. Nothing. I then manually checked the register against another computer that I have that doesn't have the same problem. All instances of any calls to svchost.exe on both computers appear to be the same
Alright, I have no clue as to what this problem may be caused by. I've ran Spybot S&D as well as Adaware and nothing has improved. My CPU usage still runs at 100% regardless of my rebooting and such.
I've got an AMD athlon xp 2700, 1024 mb ram, & Windows XP SP2.
Why does my IE freeze continually. I've run spybot

Before this, windows was shutting down at random during startup or when running certain programmes.It was easier to reinstall than fix as no data on the pc was needed & it had a restore disk.the restore seemed to be successful.After loading avg, spybot & spywareblaster, I ran spybot. Halfway through, the pc restarted. Tried again, same prob. Tried avg, This had the same result whilst checking the hosts files, It shuts down whilst checking a file around here: c:i386mdmtosh Tried again, same prob.I have now been told that these programmes did the same thing before the reinstall.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am the administrator (at least I assume I am since I set up our home computer) on my home Dell Dimension. I try and run AdAware and Spybot regularly but it seems that I have to go to each desktop (there are five users on our home computer) to run them to make sure I clean up everything. As you can imagine, especially since my kids do a lot of cruising (most of it supervised), it takes a long time. I am hoping there is some way to be able to run these apps from my desktop and globally cover all desktops at once, but I haven't found it. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been experiencing a problem with my Windows XP installation.My computer somehow got a few especially nasty viruses, and it eventually got to a point where it wouldn't start. I ran a virus scan from Knoppix, which rid my computer of most of its viruses, and Windows would start once again.It still had some problems, notably with random pop-ups. I ran Ad-Aware, but before I could delete the malicious content, ad-aware suddenly closed. I tried again, and got the same result. Eventually, I was able to delete the crucial malware, but there were still 70 entries of low-priority threats that I didn't get around to. ALso, I was having trouble updating my virus scanner, so I never got around to running another scan. I never ran Spybot, either. I know now that my negligence was dumb.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that I have supposedly installed Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) several times today! I think thismay be because spybot is blocking a registry change called Winlogon something or other. Can anyone confirm this? In other words if I tell spybot to allow this will that stop updates from repeatedly trying to install the same thing?
I have ran Spybot and Adaware both are updated, this is now the hijack this log. I am having a lot of problems

It was working during the initial days of Hurricane Katrina because I was listening to the news feeds on it, so sometime in the last week or so I noticed it stopped.
I have done the following to troubleshoot:
Run antivirus - norton internet security & trend micro free scan Run adaware and spybot
Im not sure whats going on my computer is just going slow. It started about a week ago, I installed a second hardrive about 3 weeks ago but everything was ok.Its slow to open programs clicking on anything all that.I ran spybot and Adadware, panda online scan and trend micro and no viruses some spyware I removed. It looks like Explorer.exe and java are taking up the most of it but even with the java is off and Im disconnected from the internet its still very slow.I have a Dell Dimension 2400 2.4ghz processor 512 megs ram, geforce fx 5200 and windows xp. a forty gigabyte hardrive and 8 gigabyte hardrive I added. I used cables from a older computer to hook up the two harddrives dont know if that matters or not. Ive tried defragging both drives too It didnt help.

Also I have had the computer crash and had to do use xp recovery console and chkdsk to recovery the operating system twice.There are five separate users who can log on as administer and change the settings but do I have to run the scans and edits in each user account or do the changes cover the whole of the accounts.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI ran latest version of Spybot on my laptop (Windows 2000) There were several malware that Spybot wanted to remove. Ran a backup. However at one point on the process Spybot asked if I want a series of actions allowed. I clicked on allow and an endless stream of these questions began to show up. I did not click on remember these actions while allowing Spybot to delete. Got tired of doing that repetitive action and rebooted. Machine starts up, shows desktop and then desktop goes away replaced by the following applet with just a light blue screen behind it
C:WINNTsystem32command.com
The parameter is incorrect
Hit Ok but applet comes back. Hit close but applet comes back. Can only force a shutdown. Went into safemode tried "run last good configuration" ...same result. Went back into safe mode and ran the backup on Spybot to reverse actions but of course since I didn't hit remember the allowed actions the malwares were returned but the problem not fixed.
My pc keeps freezing up, i have run spybot ect but that has not helped.
Ive recently discovered that my computer is infected with many viruses, adware, spyware, etc . and am very worried. My main concern is this constant pop up (that looks like a windows pop-up balloon) that tells me my computer is infected and wants me to buy anti spy storm. Ive already run spybot, bitdefender and AVG anti spyware many times in normal and safe mode (i couldnt run bit defender in safe mode).

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo basically the computer I'm on was loaded with spyware so I decided to use Spybot to get rid of it. After running it it told me I needed to reboot to remove the rest of the spyware so I did. I got to the windows login screen and after logging into my screen I'm immediately met with a blue screen that flashes for about half a second and then goes to restart the computer. The only way that I can actually get into windows without it crashing is by logging in with safe mode.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTwice so far in the past 4 days my computer has restarted itself automatically. When I get back to the desktop I check the task manager to see if any foul programs are running (which I didn't recognize any) and I noticed my CPU usage was fluctuating between 50% - 100%, never lower. I rebooted into safe mode and the CPU usage was norma (bouncing between 1 - 10%). I've ran adaware, spybot, and trend micro online virus scan which all came up clean. I haven't gotten any error messages or anything like it.
