Bizarre Spybot problem

I updated my Spybot today and did the Immunize thing as well. I ran Spybot and let it fix any problems it found. Later today I went to access a folder on my desktop that had a lot of files for a club I belong to for a newsletter I create. The files are gone! Most are done in Word, some in Excel and a couple in Word. I have hunted high and low for them to no avail. I get info that I can go to the Recovery section of Spybot and access them there but the only ones there are from the years 2002 and 2003, nothing from this year! Where the heck did my files go? Why would Spybot remove them? They're just text files for a newsletter, there's nothing malicious in them.

I tried a system restore and that did nothing. I was able to get two files, one was on my flash drive and the other online, but all of the desktop folder is gone. I am less than impressed about this. I can recreate most of it, but it'll be a pain. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? Is there any hope of finding my files?

I have XP Pro, if it matters. Thanks in advance,
Funkynassau :eek:
 
funkynassau:

It is highly unlikely that Sptbot removed the files. There are utilities that can recover files (if they haven't been over written). For example:
Spybot recovery files.

When you do a "Fix selected problems" after a "Check for problems" by default Spybot creates backups of the fixed problems to facilitate recovery (see Note #1). However, there are no Recovery files created during the deletion of tracking cookies and some other minor fixes with Spybot-S&D 1.3 and later versions.

Reviewing/posting a log of what was fixed with Spybot:

If you like to post the Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log from the running of Spybot prior to noticing that the files were missing we can take a look at what fixes were done. Note: 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 (see Note #2).

Two methods to copy that information:
  • Method 1:
    • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Pervious reports. Look for the Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file that contains the detections that you like to me to help you with. Open it. To copy it to the Clipboard, right click on the listing and select Select All > Right click again and select Copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of the Clipboard into a new post in this thread.
  • Method 2
    • The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log 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.log. Double click on it and it should open with Notepad. To copy it to the Clipboard, right click on the listing and select Select All > Right click again and select Copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of the Clipboard into a new post in this thread.
Note #1: If you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings, in the option tree under "Main settings" the following item is checked by default:
  • Create backups of fixed spyware problems for easy recovery.
Note #2: If you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings, in the option tree under "Log file settings" the following items are checked by default:
  • Write complete check details to debug file Checks.txt
  • Write complete fixing details to debug file Fixes.txt
  • Include date and time in debug filename (Checks.yymmdd-hhnn.txt).
 
Hi,

Have you tried to recover the lost data using a recovery program such as PC Inspector File Recovery or some other recovery utility?

*********************

Redirected host entries can be caused by malware but many times are caused by over restrictive additions to the HOSTS file. Do you use add on HOSTS files such as Bluetack HOSTS, hpHosts, Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts, MVPS Hosts, etc.?

Well I am really baffled. I use some of the files in the missing folder all the time, it's for a car club and I just finished doing our newsletter so I was in and out of there all the time. It's very strange that these files just up and disappear like that! They were there earlier the same day that I ran Spybot and then they were gone, so to me that's what removed them as I didnt do anything else.

I did try the recovery program you suggested and it finds the names of some of the files but they are empty, the data is gone.

I use none of the things you mention and I dont even know what they are!

What do you think happened?
Thanks,

Your HOSTS file has entries that override access to many anti-virus sites. It appears that you may have some sort of virus/worm.
