Help with Spybot

[Coppertop]

Er, just a question but is it normal for spybot to lock up halfway through a scan (always at C2.lop), or when I try to download the updates?

Sorry, but I'm having some major pain in the arse problems. All help appriciated.

Ad aware, spybot installs some spyware, read the agreement paper..

[Coppertop]

ah. so ad aware is screwing me up. I'll uninstall it and see if that changes anything

[Coppertop]

Didn't work. :(

[prstudio]

it freezes, but it continues scanning; just let it go...

usually completes in 10-15 minutes

Yeah... It may seem like it's freezing up.. But it really isn't.. And the only spyware that gets installed from spybot is a very minute amount...

It's smaller than the amount that's left behind by Ad-Aware.

i had this problem, i believe if you go to spybots FAQ page there is an FAQ relating to this problem. You have to go to the prefernces i think and tell it NOT to scan for c2.lop.

C2.lop is actually some kind of virus i think, it messes with low level stuff like your media links. I even tried undoing it with Norton antivirus but it could only isolate it..i could not remove it.

And where would these preferences be?

[imported_ave]

go to the "info and license" or "online" sections and find links from there man.

Anyone know a good piece of s/ware I cn get to search and destroy ad ware and any other nasties?

[Coppertop]

can't find it. Ah well, I'm uninstalling it, it's causing troubles on my computer.
