    Default botcheck stops at Virtumonde

    lately the botcheck stops at Virtumonde (57721). Taskmanager says the program is not responding.
    I un- and re-installed Spybot. I ran it in Safe Mode.
    Same thing.
    I noticed there is activity on my DSL modem while Spybot is scanning.

    Hello,

    This could be caused by several reasons like an old Spybot version, too much temporary files or problems with the system restore point.

    In case you are using a dated version of Spybot-S&D, as a first solution, please download the latest version Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4. This should fix the problem. You will find links to several download locations for this new version on our web site:
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
    Please search for new updates after installing Spybot S&D 1.4.

    If this doesn't help please delete the contents of your Windows temp folder and try it again: For that purpose, please run Spybot-S&D and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode". Now select "Tools" --> "Secure Shredder" from the navigation bar on the left. There select "Add files from temp folder" from the drop down menu on the top (hit the small arrow next to templates). Then "Chop it away!"

    You can also try the following:
    - select "Settings" --> "Settings" in the navigation bar on the left and untick the checkbox in front of "display confirmation dialogs"
    - exit Spybot-S&D so the settings are saved
    - run Spybot-S&D and "Check for problems" again

    Expect it to run slowly, it appears to hang. Please be patient - it should clear with the problems fixed.

    If it still doesn't work please select "Settings" --> "Settings" from the toolbar on the left. In the section "Main settings" please untick the checkbox in front of "Crea

    Best regards
    Sandra

    Thanks
