Please assist as I am unable to complete a Spybot - Search & Destroy Version 1.4 because when Running bot-check it gets to approximately (varies slightly) 23282/31725: Gain.Gator and then just freezes the computer. I have to hold the power button until it shuts down and the restart the computer by powering up. I have run the Ad-Aware SE Personal with the latest definitions, run MS AntiSpyware and the free Scan (both virus and spyware from http://housecall.trendmicro.com/. From advice from jw50 on the SpywareInfo Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index....2&#entry332812 I have also downloaded, installed and run CCleaner and Ewido Security Suite and many other procedures to resolve this problem. I can run a complete Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Safe Mode" most times, but always freezes when running it under both User Logons in "Normal" mode. Each User has "Administrator" rights. I believe the computer is free of "Malware", "Spyware", "Adware", etc. Please help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
