I had Spybot running on my machine. I didn't do a de-install but it suddenly stopped being able to run from my desktop. I downloaded the latest version (btw I have both version 14 and 15 executables and both fail) and the installation stops at loading blindman.exe. When I run spybotsd I get a message that it is an invalid win32 program. Not sure that it is related but my copy of Trend Micro AV also died and won't install. This has to be the most agressive virus out there. Acts like AIDS and attacks the program meant to kill the virus. Wierd thing is I have spysweeper and superantispyware running just fine as does adaware.

If you cannot run the Spybot or Anti Virus scan at all, please go ahead and post the HJT log along with a note regarding scan/s failure.
