Hi all

Just run S&D and it's come back with the following error message after selecting to remove the files:

Unexpected error in fixing problems.
(Cannot create file: "C:\Windows\winnit.ini". Access is denied)

I've been looking around and cannot find anything. Can anyone help out out.

Device is Toshiba Satellite C668, Windows 7 64bit

Thanks.

Hello Stokkers,

Did you elevate Spybot's permissions? How can I get administrator rights under Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8?

Best regards, :)

Hi Tashi

Thanks for your reply. I've always opened S&D with Administrators Permission, but I did read some where that if I use AVG, then I should disable it whilst I use S&D. I also did another clear out on the Registry, which I did. I then ran S&D again and the amount of problems I had on the original sweep, was reduced to one. This one, Win.32Dowmloader.gen, I still couldn't remove and I could not find it on my lappy. I doubt if I shall be bothering about it tonight, as Liverpool are playing Fulham in the EPL and I need my lappy for that. LOL :)

If you'd like someone to take a look at the system you could start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum and a volunteer analyst will advise when available.

If you decide to do that see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS and aswMBR logs, which are used in the preliminary analysis.
