I recently upgraded spybot to 2.1 however after running a scan, this virus came up but now I can't find it to remove it. My search button doesn't work either.

Macromedia.FlashPlayer.Cookies: [SBI $1EF45977] Text file (File, nothing done)
C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\2GMJW4VY\skype.com\#ui\preferences.sol
Properties.size=253
Properties.md5=318D049A011DE69F0A1841EF09BFEC83
Properties.filedate=1381807483
Properties.filedatetext=2013-10-14 20:24:42

OtShot: [SBI $6680244F] Settings (Registry Key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ZalmanInstaller_otshot


I looked at this info, but it's too complicated and I couldn't find it via regedit either in any of these folders via these links that recommend removing it

I have AVG Anti Virus and Spybot. Will downloading Malwarebytes work ? How do I disable the other anti virus programs so that there aren't any conflicts ? Thanks

Hello JohnB007,

In order for someone to advise please see the forum sticky which includes guidelines and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the preliminary DDS and aswMBR logs used for analysis.

Then start a new topic as shown in that FAQ along with a description of the computer's symptoms and a volunteer analyst will assist when available. :)

Best regards.
