• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here.

Hi guys, first time post here and probably not the last = P

i have a problem with virtumonde, iv installed spybot s&d, updated and done full scans and it is being picked up, i get a pop up stating i should restart and scan again to fix the problem.
i have left it to run its course a few times however even after restarting (and before windows has fully loaded) i get the message recomending a restart before spybot has even finished. i best also add that this has been tryed in safe mode.

i have read the "read before you post" section and it advises to give a HJT log HOWEVER, i cant seem to get this program running, after installing and clicking the exe file, nothing happens - can anyone shed any light on this before i proceed any further? if not is there any other logs etc that would be acceptable?

Delete what you have and try it this way

Download Trendmicros Hijackthis to your desktop.
  • Double click it to install
  • Follow the prompts and by default it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis\Highjackthis.exe
  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
  • Go to Edit> Select All.....Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
