Hello Mr Plop, everyone,

Please do not try 'fixes' given to another member in the malware removal forum.

If Spybot-S&D or other security software does not detect or remove an item, follow the procedure in this link: "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)

• Please note that all instructions given are customized for that member's computer only, the tools used may cause damage if run on a computer with different infections. Your symptoms may only appear to be similar.

Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum where a helper will advise you as soon as available.

Cheers.

Woops, sorry! Got too excited!

The problem has gone away, or at least Spybot is no longer reporting it as of today's updates

thanks for all the help for everyone. Considering that none of the things we did were effective and that the problem disappeared when after a Spybot update. do you think that this was a false positive?

I ask for my own peace of mind. I do a lot to make sure that my system is clean and stays that way.

Thanks, Ian

hello,

we consider this a false positive, apart from being hidden and not being removable it did not show any malicious behavior. There is a lot of legit software which hides stuff for various reasons, for instance security software.
