![]() ![]() ![]() I didn't think Spybot was infected anyhow. But why it didn't detect it then is also strange. I submitted this file from my home computer over the weekend to VirusTotal and, of course, it was clean, and McAfee still had a 3/31/10 detection date there too. I restored SDShred.exe this morning on this work computer and so far it has not been detected again. Symantec, Spybot S&D, Kaspersky, with no problem, so I know it was not infected, and my scan detected nothing Friday night. I was able to go to other security sites as a test, i.e. I could not answer you over the weekend from home because this community site kept crashing my browser for some reason. I notice I should have posted this in the Malware discussion instead of here but I appreciate your reply. At least they could have said they were checking on it or something. Wow, that's terrible their not answering you especially after 4 days. I haven't used McAfee that long, this is not my computer. I cannot send the supposed "infected" file to you because you deleted it. I posted in Spybot's forum yesterday and it appears there are other people affected by this although it seems to have differenct names. McAfee, have you deleted part of my program? This appears to be a false positive and has now removed part of my Spybot program. I search McAfee Virus Information with zero results. This is a Shredder program to shred/delete files to oblivian from my computer. SDShred.exe is part of the Spybot Search & Destroy program, and has been for as long as I have been using it, about 9 years maybe. ![]() Before I had a chance to close Spybot, the McAfee alert popped up. Spybot had just finished a scheduled scan and just then McAfee also completed an update. Process description: Windows Problem Reporting Process: C:\Windows\system32\werfault.exe From the McAfee Log:įile: C/\Program files\Spybot-Search & Destroy\SDShred.exe So we strongly recommend to use Spybot’s immunization, regular system scans and of course regular updates of the Spybot signatures.Yesterday, McAfee Internet Security Real-Time Scan supposedly detected a trojan in my Spybot program. Spybot – Search & Destroy uses this technique as part of it’s proactive protection to lock out bad domains. Right-click on the mbam-setup.exe file and change. If MBAM will not install, try renaming it. If your computer tries to connect to ‘cheating.you’, all requests are redirected to ‘localhost’ and therefore blocked. Some types of malware will disable MBAM and other security tools. The second example maps the remote ‘cheating.you’ domain to the local IP address 127.0.0.1 on your computer, also called ‘localhost’. Spybot – Search & Destroy scans your Hosts file for such unauthorized modifications with our ‘’ signatures. Malware tries to redirect security and antimalware related hostnames to prevent your computer from updating signatures. It is a common attack vector used to manipulate your internet communication. This feature makes it easy for hijackers. The first example would send your requests to the IP address 104.244.42.193, regardless of what result your DomainNameService would return. These values are usually separated by tabs. It maps a hostname to an IP address by using two columns, the target and the source address. This Hosts file offers a simple and alternative name resolution mechanism. You can find it in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on your PC.
