Hello alanfgriffin,

Hi, I just ran Spybot and discovered that a Baylon Toolbar is shown as a threat. Spybot is unable to remove it and i get a message saying error.


The message just says "error"? Which version of Spybot-S&D do you have installed and when were the definitions last updated. :)

Do you have other security software installed and what is the operating system please.

Best regards.

OS is windows 7
Firefox browser
AVG antivirus.
Malwarebytes Free edition.(run occasionaly)

Hope that helps, do you need more info ?

Hi alanfgriffin,

Did you elevate Administrator permissions before running the scan and trying to remove items flagged? Run as Administrator (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=55946)

Best regards. :)

Brilliant,
That solved my problem, will this work for anything that Spybot can't remove ordinarily ?
Thanks for your help

Hi alanfgriffin,

If an item flagged is particularly stubborn running Spybot in safe mode might help as you'd have access to only basic files and drivers, whereas when the machine is operating in normal mode all processes are running.

Scanning in safe mode allows the program to try and remove items that keep reappearing after a scan, despite having been 'fixed'.

If none of that works feel free to post the issue in this forum. :greeting:

Best regards.

Will do,
Many many thanks.
