Hello,
I ran a scan on Spybot and it is claiming I have spylocked so I posted in the Malware forum and did all kinds of scans, HJT logs.
This post almost proves SpyLocked to be a false positive.

This appears to me to possibly be a false positive because when I go to http://msn.com .bup files are generated somewhere in the system. Then Mc Afee seems to quarantine these files. Then when Spybot goes to scan it claims Spylocked exists at this location. But I run several different methods as instructed by a helper in the Malware removal section and it cannot find any reference to spylocked. I then go back and scan the file C:\Program Files\Quarantine with Spybot and it says that it is clear? But Spylocked shows up in a regular scan on Spybot S&D.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Greg
