HellzLittleSpy

[danarothrock]

Reviewing blogs here, I am afraid to attempt to fix HellzLittleSpy infection on my computer.

Is this still a false detection? Has Spybot been corrected?

Somehow, this morning, I got blasted with many trojans and viruses. I downloaded the latest version of SpyBot 1.6.0.30 and cleaned everything except HellzLittleSpy.

Is it safe to fix HellsLittleSpy now?

I spoke too soon. The new SpyBot 1.6 responded that all trojans were removed, but several came back.

My Toshiba XP laptop will not go into SAFE mode. I get blue stop screen.

I did system restore to a week ago, but the same trojans persist after rerun of SpyBot.

Is it safe to fix HellzLittleSpy with latest SpyBot and updates?

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

You have not read the directions or posted the correct information. This is all of the information I will provide unless that is done.

1) This is the malware removal forum, ask Spybot S&D questions here:

2) If you read the directions, the instructions for running Spybot S&D and how to handle what it finds are there.

3) HellzLittleSpy <<< according to http://www.greatissoftware.com/ that item is a keylogger, see this:
http://www.greatissoftware.com/regrun3dh.htm#hellz%20little%20spy%201.2.exe

hellz little spy 1.2.exe
Keylogger
Pressing Shift+F12 brings up a dialog box with the possibility to shut the trojan down. A bug in version 1.2 stopps it from autoloading
I would guess you should be able to uninstall the program in Add Remove programs.

I did system restore to a week ago, but the same trojans persist after rerun of SpyBot.
If your system restore files were infected, you would just restore the infection:
