    Default Spybot Stopping

    Hello everyone, I searched the forum for this but couldn't find anything so I thought I would post about it. My Computer is DEFINITELY infected with Spyware and Adware. I have to click on links two or three times to go to the correct page.

    Anyway, I downloaded whichever is the latest version of Spybot as of this date, and updated it completely, but it will never complete a full scan. It always stops at "win32.sober". I let it sit overnight and it was still stuck there.

    Just now I tried it in Safe Mode, and it isn't working still. I don't know what to do, I want to get rid of the junk on this computer but I need Spybot to work. Any ideas?

    Hello.

    Certain malware can stop security programs, as you believe the computer is infected please follow the instructions in this sticky topic to get a HJT log.
    BEFORE you post and who will advise you. Preliminary Steps

    As you can't scan with Spybot-S&D skip those instructions for now.

    Then start your own thread here:
    Malware Removal Forum

    A helper will advise you as soon as available.

    Cheers.
