    Default win32.downloader.gen

    Could anyone help me with this malware-trojan ? Spybot detects it but does not fix it.

    Thank you

    Before starting a topic in the Malware Removal Forum for this particular issue please run Spybot-S&D as Administrator if you haven't already and see if that resolves the problem. It often does.

    Spybot - Search & Destroy 2.0

    Q: How can I get administrator rights under Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8?

    A: Just right-click on the module’s icon you are about to run and select “Run as administrator”

    Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2

    On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot - Search & Destroy might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:


    1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
    2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu.

    Thank you Tashi for answer.

    I always run Spybot as an administrator. I did the procedure a couple of time and it does not work. As today, is the only problem Spybot was unable to solve.

    Again, thank you for your help.

    Hello khikouyou,

    Someone can take a look at the system if you start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum where a volunteer analyst will advise when available.

    First see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS and aswMBR logs, which are used in the preliminary analysis.
