Description:
Haxdoor-H deactivates the Windows firewall, adds its files as services to the system to have them started at every system start. Haxdoor-H also has the ability to hide several of its files from the windows api, making it hard to detect and remove. ADDITIONAL REMOVING INSTRUCTIONS: Please start Windows in Safe Mode and scan with Spybot S&D again. The remains can be removed only there.

Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Haxdoor-H uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
