Q: When I try running Spybot, get half done and then stops. It says, “Error during check!: Xuron55 (Datei C: WINDOWS win.ini kann nicht thou? Ffnet were. The process can not file because it is used by another process access) ().” It does this even if I tried running defrag in safe mode.
I. After about 10 minutes stopped and said some files could not be defragged.
I thought maybe I had a virus so I ran McAfee VirusScan. I ran it on everything. It says that no infected files.
I then tried Adaware, because he thinks something that Spybot does not find. Adaware ran fine and found two problems, but not to adopt this big problem that I have.
My Spybot, AdAware, and antivirus are all updated. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how can I fix it? Is there anything I can run? I have Windows XP Pro if that helps. Thanks in Advance.
Best Answer: Try running checkdisk to fix any corruption then reboot and try to defrag again.
Chkdsk (Chkdsk.exe) is a command-line tool that checks volumes for problems. The tool then tries to repair any that it finds. For example, Chkdsk can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors. To use Chkdsk, you must log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.

Edit: Forgot to add that checkdisk can take some time to completely run so it may appear to stall when in fact it isn't so you need to be patient and let it run to completion. For my computer, it take about 90 minutes.
Re:well, I finally figured out the spyware part of the problem. I had Downoad Accelerator Plus on my computer, which may have been causing problems, so I removed it. They say it doesn't have spyware, but I don't believe that's true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled Spybot. It works fine now. Thanks for all the help.
I'm still having a slight defrag problem, though. I'll probably start a new topic for that, since I'm past the spyware problem.
Re:I wouldn't rely on Spybot or Adaware anymore. They've been off my radar for over a year.
Please refer to my detailed spyware remove instructions here: http://theflyingpenguin.com/spyware-removal.shtml
Hope this helps…
Re:mfh,
Welcome to the Forums! :beer:
What's with the German language in your message?
Are you running a German version of WinXP?
If not, could you have possibly snagged one of THESE? (http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,120846,00.asp)
Re:hey guys, thanks for the help. I won't be able to try all of your suggestions till tomorrow after work, but I will repost after I do. Thanks again.
Re:Welcome to the Forums
1) is McAfee completely updated? You should have the 4400 engine (might be represented as 4.4.00) and the 4517 DATs to be up-to-date.
2) run the McAfee scan in Safe Mode rather than regular Windows, if you didn't already.
3) install and update Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta (download link (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/winGenuineDecision.aspx?FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en)) and run the full scan with that as well.
4) if you suspect a virus infection and can't kill it or find it, there's always the sure solution: nuke your existing Windows installation completely and start over, following "best practices" to ensure that you start secure and stay secure. Here is my contribution to that: start here (http://www.omnicast.net/~tmcfadden/guides/build/security1.html). Unwelcome ideas to some people, but whatever.
Re:the message from spybot is a program error message, not a detection. try uninstalling and reinsatalling spybot.
