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…
ah. so ad aware is screwing me up. I’ll uninstall it and see if that changes anything
Didn’t work. 
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?
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?
can’t find it. Ah well, I’m uninstalling it, it’s causing troubles on my computer.
