Are you still having issues with that program? If so those files may be in a different location.

Do a windows search for both those files and if there found let me know what folder there in. Most of these infected files are in your system32 folder but these may be elsewhere.

spywarestop.exe
setupxv.exe

Did you see my post about doing a windows search for those files???

[oddfellow831]

Sorry. Wasn't fully awake when I checked the replies, didn't catch the next page.
Never did find the files you sent me after. Did erase all the pics I downloaded from an art site and a couple of videos I downloaded from Daily Motion. Then I downloaded updates for S&D and sent it on a scan.
SpywareBot did not show up this time.

That's great to hear

OTMoveIt <---Drag it to the trash

Malwarebytes <-- Yours to keep , check for updates and run a scan now and then.

Hijackthis <---Your call, hopefully you won't need it again, if you do you can redownload it

• How did I get infected in the first place ? <--- Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
• Tutorial for System Restore <-- Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.
• WhattheTech
• TonyKlein CastleCops
• Grinler BleepingComputer
• GeeksTo Go
• Dslreports

Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster, you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot.

Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community

• Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
  Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  
• Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  
• Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  
• IE-Spyad
  IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  
• Firefox 3 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.

Safe Surfn
