A few days ago my friend told me that his msn chats were being saved by someone. So i went to his house to see what was going on. Found two important threats. The first one was amvo.exe which is a very popular problem in turkey nowadays. A lot of people com to our hjt forums for help whatever i fixed it with combofix and the second threat was 007 spy software.
I couldnt open spybot in normal mode so i used it in safe mode. even it detected 007 spy software in safe mode when i clicked on the fix button the computer hanged. i tried fixing it on system startup the same thing computer hanged again. After searching on the internet i learned to open the spy software with ctrl+alt+f7 and after i opened the program's interface there was an option in the program to avoid running anti-spyware programs like ad-aware, spybot and the option was selected. Because of this i couldn't run spybot in normal mode and i couldn't clean the spyware in safe mode or on system startup. Well there was an uninstall option in the program and i uninstalled it :) But i was really shocked because the program really protected itself against spybot. Spybot was so weak against the spy. I was disappointed alot. Because i have been using spybot for nearly 4 years without any problems. Also in our security forum www.doctus.org my signature is spybot's banner. :bigthumb:
I think Spybot should be able to protect itself against this kind of malware. İ can shut teatimer from the task manager but kaspersky, and spyware terminator doesn't let this and they protect themselves.
