Hello smithdr107 and metto_,

Please do the following,

Check for problems, do not 'fix' any items found
Switch Spybot S&D to advanced mode
Navigate to tools - view report
Click "view report"
Click "export" to save the report to a text file and paste the top of the report showing the detection, and Spybot version, here please.


Cheers.

Hello metto_

Looks like a wareout infection, some of the tools helpers use do not work in Vista.

However for an analyst to take a look at the system, please follow the procedure in this link:
"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) where a helper will advise you when available.

Regards. :)

Tashi,

Those DNS entries looked familiar to me, so I checked and they are simply the OpenDNS servers.

Here's another similar thread in the Archives originally handled by steamwiz.

I'm thinking this may be a transient false positive, though you may want to get an HJT log first to confirm and help the Team debug.

Spybot sets those entries also when attempting to remove zlob.dnschanger, too. This is the most likely case here.
