    Unhappy Can't fix the Somoto.BetterInstaller with Spybot!

    Okay so I did a scan with spybot because my informatic teacher told us to try that at home. So I had a lot of problem to fix so they all got fixed except Somoto.BetterInstaller. It says "some problem couldn't be fixed; the reason could be that associated files are still in use (memory). This could be fixed after a restart. (...)" but after the restart it said the same so... I don't know what to do anymore... The 2 things under somoto.betterinstaller are (SBI $B8A7F4F7) root class HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_\SOFTWARE\Classes\sdp and the second one is the same except that at the end it's \sdp (64 bit)

    Thanks alot!

    1) Have you tried running Spybot in safe mode when the operating system loads the bare minimum of software that is required for the operating system to work?

    2) Elevate permissions to run Spybot - Search & Destroy? How can I get administrator rights under Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8?

    What is the operating system please.

    Also, which version of Spybot do you have installed: http://www.safer-networking.org/shop/

    Best regards.

    Oh god... I don't know what safe mode is... Well maybe but not sure

    And I think I did something to make myself being the admin so it says I can't because I should do it as an admin but it does it anyway after i click "ok"

    The operating system is Window 7 64 bit

    The version is 1.6.2

    And i don't know if it's related to the virus or something but i have weird shortcut on my desktop that appeared there when i just opened it (they look pale and have almost the same name as some of my file for my homework except there's an ~ instead if the first letter and then there's 2 file named desktop.ini pale too and 3 file named ~Wrl0373.tmp ~wrl2642.tmp ~wrl3180.tmp) they look suspicious :( :( :(

    Thanks alot

    Hi Jess37,

    It might be best for someone to take a look at the system, please see the Malware Removal Forum sticky which includes guidelines and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288

    Then start a new topic in that forum providing the logs so a volunteer analyst can advise, also provide a link back to this thread please.

    Don't worry, you will receive guidance.
