I think whatever malware I had must have corrupted spybot because now it only scans about 900 items in about 5-10 seconds. I've reinstalled and updated but nothing seems to help. What else can I do?

Hello bwallen :welcome:

What is your operating system and please list security programs installed.

Other than what you have described is anything else remiss which leads you to believe the computer is infected?

Best regards.

I'm running XP SP3 and I also have malwarebytes installed. I was definitely infected. Before running malwarebytes I couldn't even open up Spybot. Malwarebytes found 20 or 30 infected items and removed them.

Hi there,

No anti virus program?
