spybot

Well I was doing a late routine system clean up and up dated Spy-bot and ran scan.
The scan stopped with an error referring to BackOrfice.
This lead to a virus scan then a safe-mode virus scan then downloading to spy-ad-ware trial programs ruining stinger... ... ...
I spent much time trying to locate and eradicate the problem.

I finally went to Spy-bot forum where I see many other ppl are having the same issue after resent update.
Not all referring to Back Orifice but some were. Man I should have went there 1st.

This is just to save you all the time I lost with this crap.

Thanks much for the heads up! :thumbup:

I haven't erased Spybot, but I was about to do it soon because of the lack of updates. Adaware has far surpassed Spybot at this point. It used to be the other way around.

Cheers for that :thumbup: saves a load or arseing around if it happens to me

Adaware seems to have overtaken SB as the best spyware killer now. :thumbup:

I always run Adaware 1st after emptying Temp folder,
Then Spybot which once in a great while will find something.
It's all part of the routine.

Spybot is having definite patch issues since 1.3.
Maybe I'll stop using it.
