Before I start I think It would be important to note my specs: Dell Studio Laptop, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Intel(R) Core(TM)i7 CPU, Q720 @1.60Ghz
4.00 gb ram. Protection programs: Avast antivirus, Spybot Search and destroy, (in web browser) No script, better privacy, ref control, and adblocker.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a problem with my spybots loading and updating, though it wasn't quite as bad as now. When I tried to update it wasn't like it normally was (it gave me the updates and took longer loading and disconnecting from the update thing)
Upon trying to immunize it took a bit too long on some, while on others it immediately immunized files far to big for such speed. Now it simply does nothing when I click the update button, and doesn't detect anything when scanning, not even the cookies or logs on pc. Whats going on?

Hello Protege,

In your PM you've indicated you might have an infected computer.

Please see this FAQ which also includes instructions on posting a preliminary DDS log: "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Then start a new topic in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) and copy paste the log into it, an analyst will advise you as soon as available.

If DDS won't run please start a new thread anyway and make note of the situation.

Best regards.
