(Mailbot and Interfun) please help!!

[Vexta]

Hi guys...
I wonder if anyone can help. I ran a scan with spybot this morning and the scan returned an error message:

Error during check!
Mailbot (Datei C:\WINDOWS\win.ini Kann nicht geöffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Then I run the scan again and it returned the same message but with 'Interfun' instead of Mailbot.

Any ideas???

Much Appreciated

HijackThis logs are not analyzed in this forum and you only posted a partial log. But I do not believe that will be necessary to analyzed HijackThis log anyway. I believe that you are running an old version of Spybot with an old copy of the advcheck.dll.

What Windows OS are you running? Also, please post a Spybot log as follows:
Run another scan. When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard" then paste those results to a new post in this thread.

Thanks

Thanks MD USA Spybot Fan! You were right, I was running an older version of Spybot (Vs1.3 in fact) So I installed Vs1.4, did the updates and did the scan and... hoorah!! no problems.

Sorry also for posting a half-baked HJT log in the wrong place... Us newbies, eh? What can ya do with us?

Hi,

I ran the spybot late last night and got:

Error during check!
Mailbot (Datei C:\WINDOWS\win.ini Kann nicht geöffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

And also got: LSP.ShotatHome

I allowed the program to fix them and went to bed. Now this morning, actually its now 4:30pm, I still cannot get online at all. So fixing deleting these files have caused my browsers and email to not get online.

HELP! I am a newbie at this.

Hello,

You seem to be using a dated version of Spybot-S&D.
Please download our current version Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4. That should fix it.
You will find links to several download locations for this new version on our web site:

Please search for new updates after installing Spybot-S&D 1.4.

Ok, I had same problem and updated as you requested, so is mailbot a false positive or is it a glich with older version of SpyBot? :scratch:

It seems Sandra has lost her tongue, Dropiski.

I'd be willing to bet the ranch that ver1.4 doesn't check for mailbot or ignores it, so the answer to your questions would be ...

"neither."

Hello,

This was a little bug in Version 1.3 which causes errors during check.
But it is fixed in the final Version 1.4.
