Hello,
I recently ran a routine set of scans with Malware Bytes Anti-Malware, AVG 2015 and Spybot SD 1.6.2.46. MBAM and AVG came up clean. Unfortunately, Spybot did pick up something - Win32.downloader.gen.
I tried to remove it but got the following message.
"Unexpected error in fixing problems.
(Cannot create file "C:\Windows\wininit.ini". Access is denied)"
I followed your instructions to remove it here. Most of the listed programs didn't pick up anything. And what few results did come up were in RogueKiller. They were listed as BHOs. I removed them. But other than that nothing came up that qualified as a true Trojan/Malware.
I ran another scan with Spybot but it was the same story. Win32.downloader.gen reared its ugly red head once more. Despite this I haven't experienced any symptoms. The only glaring thing about all of this is the fact that Spybot picked it up.
Should I be concerned about this or is this merely a false positive on Spybot's part?
