Hello,

This is my first post here, so if I have gotten it in the wrong area please help me get it to the correct area.

To day I decided to run spybot to check for spy ware, but when I click on the icon, I get the hour glass symbol for a few seconds, but then it goes away and never loads. I then thought, maybe i should check to see if there is a new version so I typed "spybot download" into google in firefox...and hit enter, immediately firefox was shut down. I then tried it with internet explorer with the same results. I tried typing in spyware removal download and was able to get to download.com where I saw there was a newer version of spybot SD. I clicked on the link to download spybot, and my browser shut down! I then downloaded spybot on another computer and took it over to the one I was working on. I tried to install, but immediately it shuts down. It only appears to be related to spybot as i am able to dwonload Adaware instal and run, no detections (inferior anyway.) I also was able to download and run Spyware Terminator with no detections. I tried to see if it was a coolwebsearch problem, but the coolwebsearch removal tool says it is not detected.

This really bothers me to know I have some sort of malware on my system and nothing even detects it!

Please help! Is anyone else experiencing this?

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.
