Bad result when removing Malware

[HP_XP_User]

Why was the excellent reply to this problem (sent by HP_XP_User) removed? Was it because it was critical of SpyBot for the false positives when running a scan or because he suggested using something else (Recovery Commander feature on Fix-It Utilities) as opposed to Spybot?

Thank you.

If you try Fix it, and do have a series of restore points, it should work.

Let me know

I suppose I should be a little miffed...lol. I DO have an older version of Fix-It Utilities here (version 6.0) and it does contain Recovery Commander. I guess I should have tried it, but I had completely forgotten about it. That sure would've saved a lot of time and trouble. I really need to get ahold of System Mechanic....as a part of their program, they offer a disaster disk that you burn - I had one of those and it wouldn't boot. Good to know about Fix-It being a solution to that particular problem though. Thankfully, after the destructive recovery I did, the last couple times I've run Spybot, I got the "Congratulations" screen after I scanned....never knew I'd be so glad to see that particular screen.
