Further Update: downloaded the latest definitions today and the scan and immunisation all ran perfectly. May have been impatience on my part, but when applications seem to freeze and the CPU goes...

Sorry if I miss read the link, but I'm not having a good time with technology at the moment!

Some progress: I deleted the "permissions.sqlite" file and then scratched my head wondering how to...

Thanks for the reply, however the sticky you mentioned is for FF2 problems, and I had no problems scanning and imunizing that version. I have just spent the past hour completely removing both Spybot...

Like a number of others I am having trouble with the immunization feature. Having read several threads it looks as if the problem is related to my recent upgrade of Firefox from v2.0.0.18 to v3.0.4....

Thanks for your help during what is obviously a very busy time. And also for the explanation regarding Autorun.

Should have read "System Volume Information" in the external 320 Gb HDD.

This seems to be working O.K. but if needed I would reformat it and upload the back ups again.

Sorry, this was the System Volume Restore in the external 320 Gb HDD - I had specifically selected this to be scanned. I still have restore points showing in the laptops's System Restore menu - the...

Update: I have also checked a Seagate 320 Gb USB HDD that we use to keep backups on. This had a copy of the suspect file on it, and sure enough Avast! picked it up. I deleted it from the options,...

Hi, I've downloaded and run Malwarebytes and found nothing although I'll post the log below. I had my USB drive plugged in and selected during this process to check that as well. I've just seen your...

It's just finished scanning, produced a logfile and now the TeaTimer's popped up again...

Oh well... Just started again in Safe Mode, I will try and copy the logs via a USB stick so I can post them via this P.C. and leave the NEC running in Safe Mode.

May be a while - I got into Safe Mode but found that there are no icons for Avast! or Spybot in the Taskbar, so I will have to reboot back into normal mode disable them and then go back to Safe Mode.

Posting this from another machine. Just run ComboFix - it initially flagged up that Recovery Console was already installed, so after waiting for a couple of minutes I restarted it and it completed...

Slight problem, I haven't got the Spybot icon showing in my Taskbar. I've gone into the Control panel and made sure it is ticked as "Always Show", applied and O.K.d but it doesn't appear. I'm sure...

Further to your post #7 - Yes! the laptop is an NEC M5210.

I've run the Kaspersky Online scanner and nothing was found so no logfile attached. New HiJackThis log here:

Hi, I've submitted a report at Bleeping Computer, but can't use the Kaspersky online scanner. It asked for permission to install various components which I granted, but then came up with "License...

I have changed from 7Zip to IZarc which will handle multi-volume RAR files, and it works fine.

Sorry for the post last night, is was panicking a bit!

A couple of days ago my Avast! A/V programme spotted signs of a Trojan - it described it as "Win32:Delf-KZL". This concerned me as it was in a small programme I had downloaded back in April last...

Thanks, I guessed it was something like that, but I've always Immunised after doing a scan, so was curious as to why this is only being picked up by AVG now, and not with Spybot v1.4.

Regards.

Could I have some advice please? I have looked back through 20 pages of this section and seen many references to the hosts file, but not anything like my problem. I have a laptop and a desktop. Both...
