Realtime Spy kills Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy

[Antoniov.]

Ron,
if that software use any stealth technology, are you sure full removed it?
Do you checked there is no any comunication between PC and web (i.e. using netstat)?
May be software use also some regenerative algorithm.

I used netstat -a, tcpview, process explorer and zone alarm on it and there is no sign of it. Also spybot and ad aware both ran and were allowed to remove anything they didn't like. I'm pretty sure it's dead.

ron-

thanks for the info. i've thrown Winsrc.exe and ntinvisible.dll into our SMS reports panic list.

let me spend a bit of time cleaning up the SQL (it's rather messy, being adhoc and all) and i'll dump it out on another thread.

Just finished using Restore Plus cd and WinXP cd to repartion and format the drive.
Was at the end of my reasonable time frame to get my business working right!
Is it worth it to go back to my previous drive settings via Retrospect 6.0? Maybe, since It had all the programs I needed working right except for the coolwebsearch and vx2 infections it had on it that drove me nuts for 12 days, and was unable to remove as other post in other area states.
I can do it. I haven't loaded all of my stuff on the new partition yet. But need to be able to get my work printed out asap.
