    Too late, I had to get back to work. Made a parallel XP install, and reinstalled all my stuff. Terrible day and a half.

    I guess the original file name is "Wudfrd.sys" located at "windows\system32\drivers" but it isnīt in our database, too. If youīd remember the threatīs name, we may find the reason for this fault.

    Good luck with that one, mate. Unless you have a recent and accessible registry backup, it's likely you'll end up where I did: reinstalling Windows. Apparently nobody here knows what this "wudfrd" file is about.

    Default i tried to write it down before i was ruined

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset002\service\wudfrd

    It mentioned something about that before i ruined everything.

    thank you for reporting this,

    as Buster said, we do not target this service and file.
    It is actually related to mobile devices attached to a Windows computer.

    As it appears this issue appears on certain configurations and/or situations only, which is why we have not been able to recreate this issue with our test computers.

    If possible we would like have some more information:
    * which OS do you use ( information on language, service packs and patches can also be helpfull, this info can be found in a Spybot S&D Report)
    * version and updateversion of Spybot S&D (also visible in Spybot S&D Report)
    * was the Teatimer active
    * were there mobile devices attached to the computer
    * were there other active security tools running, like a virus guard or similar?
