There is a trojan or virus on my comp! Spybot wont detect!

moritsuna · 04-11-2007, 09:38 PM

Hey guys, there have been times when I use internet explorer and start surfing, there is a popup referring to spydoctor (known spyware) that when I exit out, takes me to the spydoctor website (that has spyware in it)

The thing is, I ran Spybot and AVG and it did not detect anything! Except AVG detected something strange, and I will post it as a picture. Please help me guys.

Image is attached

I see in the guide that you should install ad-aware. Do I still need that after installing spybot?? I really like spybot, saved me before. I also have AVG and Cadoro Firewall.

Hi again

Yes, install Ad-aware - it's an excellent scanner and will pick up things that others miss.

OK, i've done that. now can someone tell me what is that thing on my screenshot? what does AVG want me to "change" ?

I don't think AVG wants you to change anything, it is simply advising that there has been a change to those system files. This most likely happened after a recent Windows Update.
