Recently, I ran Spybot and it found an infection with Win32.downloader.gen malware. After finding it, Spybot tried to remove it but couldn't. Then, Spybot
asked if I wanted to allow Spybot to run again when the computer restarts. I selected "yes" and once restarting, Spybot ran for several hours (with no other programs running) and again detected the malware. Once I selected "fix problem", it checked it off as if it was repaired. However, when I run the program again, it still finds it again and the whole sequence is repeated.
Potential source of the problem: Recently, I downloaded several audio codec files from download.cnet.com/windows/ and possibly this infected my computer.
Please advise how to remove this malware. :thanks:
