[QUOTE="Adrian McNair, post: 398660, member: 37195"] 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 [URL='http://malwaretips.com/blogs/win32-downloader-gen-trojan/']here[/URL]. 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? [/QUOTE]
