ı mada a full scan with kaspersky and it found two kinds of trojans.
1)win32.hupigon.cpc
2)win32.proagent.21
ı looked into spybots database from the settings-ignore products section and ı found that win32.proagent.21 is in the database with the exact same name. and there were win32.hupigon.c and win32.hupigon.edt similiar with the hupigon.cpc which kaspersky found. but when ı made a scan with spybot it couldn find these trojans. why???

If kaspersky provides a listing of the problems, it would be better to post a copy of that listing rather than a truncated screen image of the detections.

Are entries in your system System Restore Point files and are not a threat because that are not active (unless they are used to restore your system).

The detections that are listed as:
  • C:\Recycler\...
Are entries where deleted files go and are not a threat because that are not active (unless you restore them).

well I dont know if it provides a listing of the problems (i think you meant a logfile). but thank you for your reply. i heard that spybot scans only specific areas for spies (thats why it is so fast) and because these malwares cant become active in restore and recycler directories spybot doesnt scan those areas and therefore it couldnt find the malwares. am ı right? is this what you meant?
