When will Spybot add Antivurs 360 to his malicious list and get this auto removal going?

I workd on a computer last night which was infected with Antivirus 360.
I updated spybot & libraries and ran S&D.
S&D detected Antivirus 360, said it "fixed" it, yet after rebooting, etc... Same awful behavior of sneaky redirects etc...

:-(

Is the cleaning procedure bult into Spybot going to be able to automatically get rid of this thing?

Have i done something wrong?

Not necessarily. Many malware products resist removal and new variants are written frequently to confound (defeat, thwart, etc.) removal.

What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot » Help » About)?

If you are not running Spybot 1.6.2.46 or above, consider upgrading. The downloads are located here:

• Mirror selection - The home of Spybot-S&D!
  http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html

If you are running Spybot 1.6.2.46 or above, there are two things that you can try to get rid of the things that Spybot-S&D is having difficulty removing:

1. Try to run it the next time you reboot.
   
   • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > look for "System start" (located half way down the page).
   • Check the option: "Run program once at next system startup".
   • Reboot the system.
2. Run it in Safe mode.
   
   • Reboot your system in Safe mode and run Spybot-S&D.

If Spybot still fails to correct the problem, consider posting in the Malware Removal forum and having someone take a look at your system.
