    I'm sorry but I don't think that Spybot-S&D itself is going to help you with this particular problem on that one PC. Unlike anti-virus programs and some other anti-spyware programs, Spybot does not do an in-depth scan of every file on the primary drive and there are no settings within Spybot to do an in-depth scan of every file on a secondary or external drive. For a brief description of how Spybot scans see:

    I personally think that you would be better off if you posted in the Malware Removal forum and have someone take a look at that particular system. The Malware Removal forum is were experienced malware removal specialist assist people in resolving problems

    If you decide to post in the Malware Removal forum, please follow the procedure in this link to run scans and produce a HijackThis log:
    After you have completed the required scans and produced the requested logs, start your own thread in the Malware Removal forum, making sure to post the logs produced from the above instructions.
