    have you downloaded some screensavers? they can be infected sometimes.

    files with the extension .scr is screensavers i think.

    here is some information to you about the .scr extension:

    In November 2007 the SCR file extension started to be used to transmit a Trojan. As a script or a screen saver this file can execute other files which carry the Trojan. The SCR file may be embedded within a ZIP file which could also contain a file with a double extension.

    Many Windows screen savers come with a .SCR extension by default. Usually these will be found in the Windows main directory. Use caution if you receive a screen saver file via E-mail. These files can contain executable code and can be worms or viruses. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.

    maybe you want to ask for help in the malware removal forums http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22

    Default screensaver

    I have not downloaded any new screensavers.

    It is the darndest thing. I run the SpyBot search and destroy and it shows no problems but I just ran Ewido anti-spyware and it showed two trojans.

    I am soooo confused.

    I will check the malware link you have suggested.

    thank you

    Devin

    Just to add on to blues suggestion:

    AntiVirus XP 2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses deceiving marketing techniques to force the user to purchase the program. In most cases, the registration key fails to confirm, or if it does, the rogue programs ability to remove the "infections" are still disabled.

    At the moment Spybot-SD does not detect AntiVirus XP 2008.

    I'm betting that AVG and Ewido (AVG Anti-malware) was correct about the trojan.

    Your best choice would be to visit the Malware Forums like blues said. Better safe than sorry.

    Default Malware Problem

    drragostea:

    I appreciate your input very much.

    I did post my problem in the Malware Forum (Load Zip Error; Antivirus XP2008; Trojan -devin104 ).

    There have been 77 views of my post but so far no solution has been offered.

    I am not sure if this is because I did something wrong in my posting or if none of the viewers so far have a solution.

    I would be most appreciative for help on this matter.

    About a year ago I had another problem with a Zlob issue and on of the S&D experts by the name of Shaba did a great job in helping me.

    Hopefully someone will come to my computers rescue soon.

    Thank you

    Devin

    Hello Devin. Yes, although they are just simply views, the Malware Forum is swarmed with requests. Please be patient. Malware Fighters (volunteers) are doing the best they can in assisting all of you, however they cannot be on 24/7. We all have real lives and problems.

    @tao: Have you clicked "Immunize" again (as that solution worked for devin104)? Can you Undo the Immunization and Redo it? Do you have any browsers open during the process?

    Default The Malware Plot thickens

    Today my computer got attacked by: Trojan.selfkill.naf

    I am also now getting a series of "A runtime error has ocurred" and asking me if I wish to "debug."

    I do not know if these notices are legitimate or not. I suspect they are related to malware.

    The include:

    Line 27 error "Null" is null or not an object

    Line 45 error object expected

    Line 203 error object expected.

    I sure wish somebody could help me on these problems as I am getting quite concerned about my poor laptop

    Thank you

    Devin

    Devin, can you confirm the trojan?

    You should have read the "BEFORE YOU POST" sticky. You were advised not to bump your thread.

    It it has been four (4) or more days with no response, please post in the waiting room.

    What PC is that in your Malware thread? A personal computer (desktop) or a labtop?

    In simpler terms, it means like posting another post before you received a response.

    In the Malware Forums, it can mean:
    -Bumping as in "Hello?, anybody there?, i need help... : (, &etc.)
    -Or bumping as in posting another log before the user has received a response.

    I actually thought you meant "treat" as in literally.

    I know, you meant "threat".
