Can you tell me what I need to do?I ran Spybot S/D last night and a warning box said"?

There were problems in the include file C\ program files\spybot search destroy\ includes\trojans.sbi
See ` includes errors.log' for details.

If this is a trojan I would have gotten it from here on Yahoo Answers. funny thing is : Spybot says"congradulations No threats were found..Can you help me? Thank you~

Answer 1

You would need to provide exact wording of the warning in order for anyone to truly be able to assist you with this. As it is it is a bit garbled and I don't know what exactly the problem is.

First off Spybot is a spyware program which searches out spyware on your system and rids it of any threats it finds. It is not a program which searches for Trojans, that is the job of an Anti-Virus program.

Here is a link which contains an overview of what Spybot does. It is a spyware program only.

From what I can decipher of what you wrote I doubt you have a Trojan infection. I also seriously doubt you would receive a Trojan via Yahoo! Answers. Also, if it stating there are not any threats found, then there weren't any found.

It sounds like the program itself is having some troubles, which can occur from a faulty installation. It would be a good idea to remove it and then reinstall the program and see if the error is resolved.

Good luck and have a great day.

Answer 2

Did you immunize the computer before you ran SpyBot, and have you gotten the latest updates for SpyBot? You need to do that first, download all the latest updates, then immunize the computer. That needs to be done once a month. Then look in the errors log to see what it contains.

If SpyBot said Congratulations, no threats were found, then congratulations. Keep using it, but do immunize first.
