Spybot keeps closing before immunization done
Hello I am new to this forum so hope someone is able to give me guidance on my query.
I had an older versionof spybot 1.5 I think and did a scan a few days ago as I was having issued with my pc on parallels on my mac. I note some of the errors are
Win32.Agent.bdwn
Win.32.Banker.prx
Win32.Powerspy.af
Win32.VB.du
Microsoft.windowds.infectedhostfile
I tried to fix these but the program closed down., after a 20 hour scan.
I then installed a newer version hoping this might not reoccur.
The same thing happened when I went to immunize the hostfile which was instructed to be done when the scan was complete.
The question is:-
The older version picked up the above errors along with others, but the newer version did not pickup the items listed above. It did find
Hostfile infected.
Along with the babylon issue. Though when I hunted for the registry entry my regedit did not find the reference to this file.
I then opened the program again, to see the quarantine list, and note it states nothing has been done regarding the errors on the new scan.
Here is the printout for the Hostfile
Microsoft.Windows.InfectedHostfile: [SBI $50865E77] Data (File, nothing done)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts_infected
On doing a hunt within windows I could not find this file either.
Is anyone able to advise me why the older program picked up errors the newer software did not?
What should I do now as I have spent approx 30 hours trying to diagnose whether I have a serious problem with my computer.
Thanks in advance
