Error Message During SpyBot Scan

For this:
1. The error message being received related to "trojans......" No big deal for me I just click ok and the scan continues.

What version of Spybot are you running (Spybot » Help » About)?

If you are not running Spybot 1.5.2.20, upgrading to Spybot 1.5.2 will solve the problem (Mirror selection - The home of Spybot-S&D!).

The current errors with the Trojans.sbi and TrojansC.sbi files that started with the 2008-04-09 updates are caused by new detection rules that are incompatible with versions of Spybot prior to 1.5.2. These new detection rules use the new Anti-Rootkit plugins #1, #2 and #3 that only have been offered as updates to Spybot 1.5.2. If you upgrade to Spybot 1.5.2 you will not only eliminate the error messages but in also will be performing rootkit searches while doing a Spybot "Check for problems".

If there is a reason that you cannot upgrade to Spybot 1.5.2, you can try the Anti-Rootkit plugins #1, #2 and #3 with Spybot 1.4, but they are not officially supported. From this post in the following thread:

The downloads for the Anti-Rootkit plugins are on the following Web page:

This adds improved capabilities to find rootkits. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

Once excluded, Zlob.Downloader.bs will say excluded until you remove the exclusion.

On my system a Full scan (spyware only - no usage tracks) took 29:59. A scan of just Zlob.Downloader.bs took 1:34.
 
Yes you are correct, I just checked. I could have sworn I saw it unchecked after I had previously checked it. But the system was doing some weird things so I'll chalk it up to that.

When I did a scan without any exclusions it hung up at "Zlob" and I finally stopped it. When I ran a scan with "Zlob" exlcuded it took about 50 minutes, which is typical for my system.

Still wonder if this issue is permanent and/or will it occur with other products?
 
Re: Trojans errors. Well, there are still some of us running W98 that cannot use Spybot 1.5.2 because it won't install/run, so having now got error messages regarding Trojans.sbi and TrojansC.sbi files (spybot stops until "ok" is entered, and causes the PC to freeze if I do anything else) we are rather up the creek without a paddle.

Frankly I'm rather amazed that no one seems to care about this issue. Spybot has been running hassle free for years, yet this year has become a pain in the butt! When you guys had created a well liked, handy little utility that was well received and well supported, I'm surprised that you have now spoilt it.

So far, the only thing we are offered is a non-supported patch... And even if that works for now, it seem likely that further problems may ensue later on. I'd willing upgrade to 1.5.2 if only I could, as I expect would others plagued with the same problems.
 
Hello,

What problems do you have exactlywhen you try to install Spybot version 1.5.2?
Do you get any error massage or what exactly does not function?

Best regards

Marc. That's exactly what it says. Zlob. It's a "fingerprint" in Spybot's database in identifying that kind/specific malware.
 
My scans were being stalled by zlob downloader bs. Once I removed it from the list of items to be scanned, Spybot worked fine for me.
 
Zlob.downloader.bs resolved??

I believe the Zlob.downloader.bs issue has been resolved. My scan today did not get hung up. I had unchecked Zlob... from the ignore list, i.e. no products were ignored and the scan worked fine.
 
I agree. I removed zlob.downloader.bs from the exception list, and the scan now completes in a reasonable time. It no longer gets stuck on the zlob.downloader.bs scan. Yeah!
 
To Sandra

To Sandra -
I think the issue being reported by multiple users relating to this is that even after downloading the TCP/IP Settings plugin - (65 KB) - 2007-06-06, (or the current version available through downloads) an error still occurs when installing this specific update.

I am new here, but have attempted to sort through the various related threads prior to posting.

Here's what happened for me:

1. Loaded SpyBot application.
2. Ran the SpyBot 'check for updates' manually.
3. Received the standard updates successfully.
4. Ran my system scan.
5. Received error during scan about Trojan.sbi and/or TrojanC.sbi (error in the include file) [Have received both errors seperately but are seemingly duplicate issues.]
6. Went to Safer Networking, downloaded and ran executable, "spybotsd_tcpip.exe" Created Wednesday, June 04, 2008, 9:45:33 PM, with a Safer Networking Verisign digital signature stamp showing June 20, 2007. (Filesize 106kb - 108kb on disk)
7. Received an error stating, "There were problems opening the following file for editing - TCPIPAddress.dll" With the options to Quit, Ignore or Retry.

Notes:
A. Shutting down, reinstalling the update, etc. did not solve this issue.
B. Even when the SpyBot program said no updates were available, the Trojan.sbi and TrojanC.sbi errors would still occur during system scan.


I then googled this problem online, located this forum and registered.

I have now deleted that file and ran the update again, installing the DLL successfully with no errors. I am now running but have not completed the full system scan again - to see if the original Trojan.sbi and TrojanC.sbi errors still occur.

In summary I think some users still have errors when installing the TCPIP update - not just when running the system scan. Hope this helps!

Great site!

No good.

Even after the update, I still receive the error that there were problems with the Trojan.sbi file...
 
Hi, I'm new here. Have read the posts about the trojan-error.log. Got the same problem. I downloaded spybot152.exe already some time ago and it is since then I got these errormessages. When I check my version number in spybot I read version 1.5.1.17. With the updater I've always downloaded all available files.

The suggestion to install version 1.5.2 doesn't seem to fit here, I think. The exact error-message is: "problems in the include file c:\program files\spybot\includes\trojans.sbi" and the same message appears with "trojansC.sbi".

So is there another idea to resolve the problem?

My OS is Windows XP Home. I have Spybot on an old computer with Windows98SE and it got totally stuck. I uninstalled the latest version and installed the old 1.4, but still it gets totally stuck.

Thanks for your response
 
Okay, I will partially reply to my own post. Discovered 2 pages in between on this topic and found some tips I will try. In my case it's also zlob.downloader.bs (thread 140277 and 154829). Almost thrown away these notes.

But there remains a question in my mind. What happens to the quality of spybotscanning? If I exlude this zlob-thing, I guess some trojan area's are not scanned and therefore I cannot completely rely on the scan result. Is this true?

The question/problem on Windows98SE remains.
