View Full Version : Can not remove Fraud Windows Protection Suite

OS. Win2000
Spybot 1.6.2

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware found FraudWindowsProtectionSuite and Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHost. I used this software to try to remove it.
The software said it was successfully removed and than I rebooted and rescanned again. Mbam said it was clean.

I then rebooted and scanned with Spybot S&D.
Spybot S&D finds FraudWindowsProtectionSuite and Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHost
When S&D tries to fix the problem a box pops up and says:
unexpected error in fixing problems (cannot create file "C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\hosts", Access is denied)
I used Alt-F4 to close this warning box
This pop up box may be from Fraud Windows Protection Suite. The box does not show who it is from, so it could be the OS , Virus, or S&D.

How do I remove FraudWindowsProtectionSuite and Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHost?

Hello 300SD,

Sorry to hear of the problem. 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.
