Hi Guys

Just a heads up, no doubt already aware but if not just want to let you know spybot does not detect or remove the "Personal AntiVirus" malware.

I had this on a computer and had to use Malwarebytes antimalware program to remove it, as I found spybot did not remove it.

Would spybot in the future remove this malware?

Do you still have the logfile from Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM)? Therefore, open MBAM, choose the fifth tab, open the logfile and post its content with your next answer. :thanks:

Hi there,

Actually it would be best if the log was zipped and sent to http://forums.spybot.info/misc.php?do=email_dev&email=ZGV0ZWN0aW9uc0BzcHlib3QuaW5mbw==.

Has this been done yet? I'm dealing with a Personal AntiVirus infection *right now* and also used MalwareBytes to remove it. I have access to the MBAM logs and can e-mail them or post them, as needed.

Just let me know! :)

Peace...

Thanks for the reply. :)

I wasn't asking for assistance with removing the Personal Antivirus infection but was asking if the MBAM logs mentioned above had already been sent in for analysis. If there was still a need for some, I've got some that I could send. :)

Peace...
