To locate the suspicious files I used the following crude method:
1. Used PC Wizard to scan the Files in C:/Windows/System32 folder looking for funky strings in the description field and/or suspicious file names.
2. Any that caught my eye were scanned with Spybot single file scanner.
3. Previously I had scanned my system with the latest S&D definitions.
So why the system scan did not find anything and the single file scan did is not clear to me.
I think I understand the purpose of Safer-Networks, Spybot, and your forum. I will reread your rules. I am just asking a simple question as I see it, though.
Thanks for your help.
