Hello Bill,

My WD runs each morning at 2:00 AM or so. And I have Spybot scheduled to run
3 times a week.

Earlier this morning, Spybot ran 2 hours later than WD and picked up 3
instances of malware that WD did not report on. These are the items, below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Company:
Product: ErrorSafe
Threat: Malware

Description
ErrorSafe pretends to be an antivirus programm. It mainly appears in
connection with a Smitfraud-C infection
and is praised on a blue screen. Having installed the software one has to
accept an insufficient Privacy. There
is no button to deny this privacy. A scan with ErrorSafe reveals several
problems that allegedly need to be
removed urgently in order to rescue the computer. At this point the user is
requested to buy the whole
program for an unacceptable price.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Company:
Product: MediaMotor
Threat: Malware

Description
Gets installed through trojan horses. Loads popup windows on the desktop
without user consent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Company:
Product: SystemDoctor2006
Threat: Trojan

Description
This startup entry is started automatically in Autorun in the registry,
copies itself to the system folder without
giving the user a possibility to cancel that process. Also downloads and
installs Smitfraud-C., Huntbar, Tango
etc.

Hmm--maybe I need to backtrack a bit. Spybot has been having a run of false
positives lately. If these detections have suddenly appeared on an
otherwise clean system without your knowingly having done something which
might have resulted in these files being place on the system, perhaps this
is a false positive. I haven't been tracking the details of Spybot
lately--too busy with real work.

So--If you can find the actual files related to these detections, and if you
can get confirmation, say, from virustotal or some other online scanner that
these are bad files, and if WD isn't detecting them--submit them! Lot of
ifs there, though.....

Always go to the forum/newsgroup of the organization supporting the
application in question, not here since no one's up on everything (except me,
but I'm not always here cause I'm reading there, or there, or over there...
;>)

I was a busy weekend with false positives everywhere.

There are also some issues with Smitfraud-C, but the Toolbar 888 are
sometimes real, so this requires more in depth checking. They'll do this for
free (optional donation) in the Spybot Search & Destroy Malware Removal forum

Thanks for the Spybot link, Bitman. It appears that the Spybot results
yesterday morning were, indeed, false positives.

There was an upside though: My PC got scanned by 7 or 8 different apps. My
hard drive is breathing a sigh of relief after all that work. :>
