    I need some help.. I installed spybot yesterday and it sort of ruined my computer.. It found a file called windows anti-virus override. At that point i didnt know what it was so i just deleted it. The next morning (today) i turn on my computer and my window secruity thing pops up saying my anti-virus protection program status is unknown. I called windows security center and they say they dont know how to fix it. This program just screwed up my computer.. Someone tell me how to fix it? btw i tried recovering the problem but I still get the pop up.

    The above post by JamesLee112 appears to be a duplicate of the thread started here:

    Yes it is. I just really want the problem fixed since this program which has so many hits on download.com managed to screw up my computer in a matters of minutes.

    JamesLee112:

    Do you have an anti-virus program and if so what is it?

    Also, please post the actual detections that you received and fixed. To do this, post the Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log that was produced when you did the "Check for problems" and "Fix selected problems" immediately before your problem started.

    By default here are two Checks.yymmdd-hhmm logs produced during a scan. The second Checks.yymmdd-hhmm has the details of what the scan found. A Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log is produced if you fix or attempt to fix something.

    To post the Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log from the scan/fix there are two methods:
    • Method 1:
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Pervious reports. Look for the Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm file from the scan/fix just before you started having the problem. Open it. Right click > Select all. Right click > Copy. Paste to the post.
    • Method 2
      • The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm files are stored in the following folders:
        • Windows 95 or 98:
          C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
        • Windows ME:
          C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
        • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
          C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
      • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the correct Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm file. Double click on it and it should open with Notepad. Copy and paste into the post.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
