fixed (removed) spybot malware still detected
There probably is something dumb I am not doing, but here is what the gig is.
Recently, when I run spybot, and it detects (about 8) entries, and then I click the fix button where the its says all of them are fixed, but then I run spybot again and the same malware is detected, fixed and removed, and again, again.
What's up with this?
Thanks, diligent
Without knowing what detections you are having problems with, it is impossible to answer your questions.
Please post a log of the actual detections you are getting. To do that:
- Run another scan.
- When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
- Then paste (Ctrl+V) those results to a new post in this thread.
Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Ok. I'm giving this a try. Never did so before, so if some of this is extraneous, my apology.

In regard to the detections identified as Firefox tracking cookies:
Sometimes Spybot has trouble removing Firefox tracking cookies. There are suggestions in the following post on how to remove them as well as how to block them from being stored:

Thanks md usa spybot fan.
I'll look over that info. The question was, though, why did the (e.g.) entries continue to be detected when they were already detected, fixed and removed.
My old win98 gold system at that time did seem stable, so I restarted just to see what that might do.
Well, that was the answer (by pure luck). Those entries after restart then did disappear, with only a few usage tracts coming up the next time I ran spybot, which I also fixed, and once restarting again they too disappeared.
If I understand what a false positive means, this was sort of along that line--I guess. It just looked like these entries were not fixed, but they were fixed. I just had to restart to see the final removed results.
Hope this helps other FF/spybot users.
Thanks again MD!!
