    Hello,

    Which version of Spybot do you run?
    Do you have the latest updates installed?

    Best regards

    im sorry not for posting the hijack... I've formatted my pc already... i know it could have been useful but i had to be able to use my computer 'today'...
    ...here are some screenshots i think that might be useful to someone...

    1-it creates some files on c:\
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/files.JPG

    2-runs cmd.exe
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/cmd.JPG

    3-runs tp.exe
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/tb.JPG

    4-opens the following pop-up
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/pop-up.JPG

    5-after i close the pop-up it tries to open the following site
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/site.JPG

    6-after I close tp.exe it runs low.exe
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/low.JPG

    7-after I close low.exe it runs mmxateam.exe
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/mmxateam1.JPG
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/mmxateam2.JPG

    8-after i close mmxateam.exe it runs is.exe
    http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/lokkovieira/is.JPG

    9-after i close is.exe, cmd.exe is aslo closed... my start bar(start menu) freezes and my browser(firefox) says 'done' instantly to anything i try to open and shows me nothing...

    well, thats all thats left of the spyware in my computer now... hope its of some use to help other people... :o

    Lightbulb ow!!!!

    ow, yeah!... i think the spyware entered my computer via a torrent I downloaded.... here's the torrent link:
    ...not sure though... I downloaded 2 alcohol torrents yesterday.. i think this one is 'the one' to blame...
    ..if that's is not the one, then it has to be this one...
    ...good luck with it guys!

    Removed links, if at any time you wish to submit files please do so to: detections@spybot.info
    Thank you.

    Default Process Tamer

    So can I use Process Tamer to check the Sidebar virus you all are talking here?

    Default Process Tamer from Sysinternal

    So can I use Process Tamer to check the Sidebar virus and other spyware (like the Hijacking of the localhost of IIS) ?

    Hello.
    The topic is Site Bar, do you have reason to believe your computer has this infection?
