I'm sorry but I don't think that Spybot-S&D itself is going to help you with this particular problem on that one PC. Unlike anti-virus programs and some other anti-spyware programs, Spybot does not do an in-depth scan of every file on the primary drive and there are no settings within Spybot to do an in-depth scan of every file on a secondary or external drive. For a brief description of how Spybot scans see:

I personally think that you would be better off if you posted in the Malware Removal forum and have someone take a look at that particular system. The Malware Removal forum is were experienced malware removal specialist assist people in resolving problems
