  16. 2 dare,
    you have autorun infection and should remove autorun.inf from your drives. Download and run Combofix for it.

    Comment by Patrik — March 30, 2008 #

  17. 2 Pazz, make a new topic at Spyware help forum with details of your problem.

    Comment by Patrik — March 30, 2008 #

  18. Backdooor.Rustock.Gen, 208.72.169.54, mx.terra.es and others bothered me several days. Not Spyware Doctor, not Spybot – Search & Destroy, not Windows Defender, only SDfix could help! Thanks a lot!

  32. I tried to install SD Fix but keep getting this error telling me to download a fresh copy of the install file. However I’ve tried downloading from various websites and keep getting the same error.

    CRC failed in SDFix\catchme.exe

    Comment by SaadS — September 2, 2008 #

  33. Try to download SDfix later, also you can to try Combofix (very good tool).

    Comment by Patrik — September 2, 2008 #

  34. Same issue. I downloaded and when I tried to install I get this error.

    CRC failed in SDFix\\catchme.exe

    Does this error mean this fix no longer works?

    Also this virus is blocking bleepingcomputer.com so I am unable to download combofix

    Thanks

    Comment by Nate — September 4, 2008 #

  35. Just checked SDFix installer, works fine. Try:
    1. Disable antivirus before start SDFix.
    2. Rename SDFix.exe to s123.exe, for example, and run again.

  50. If you are still having problems with your PC, after using SDFix, then I would recommend that you follow the instructions and post your logs in the spyware removal forum. Myantispyware team will help you.

    Comment by Patrik — September 29, 2008 #

  51. cool

    Comment by Himanshu — October 3, 2008 #

  52. This helped me out again. The computer I was helping with was in really bad shape and would not allow me to install Spybot, AD-Aware or or SDFix so I had to download, install and run WinRAR in safe mode (under administrator account). It was only then that I was able to extract SDFix and run it while I was in safe mode then boot back into safe mode under the same administrator account and allow the program to finish. Afterwards I followed the remaining instructions from this log and installed, updated and ran Spybot and Ad-Aware. Thanks againg for the posts.

    Comment by Jessica Tucker — October 16, 2008 #

    1. Restart your computer
    2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    4. Select the “Safe mode with networking” option, to run Windows in Safe Mode with networking.

    Try download SDFix again.

    Comment by Patrik — November 17, 2008 #

  60. i installed sdfix and solved my problem. now my question is can i uninstall sdfix now?

    Comment by daya — November 29, 2008 #

  61. i need this tool

    Comment by krisdgg — December 11, 2008 #

  62. My laptop is completely locked down by a vundo virus. I tried to downlaod SDFix from the link provided onto a different machine, but my virus checker says ‘Auto protect blocked W32.Spybot.Worm.’ What are the facts here? Is it safe to download if I disable virus protection temporarily? I’m paranoid about downloading anything that gives this sort of message at the moment.

    Comment by Martin Davies — December 21, 2008 #

  63. SDFix is good program and of course, it`s not virus.
    But if your computer is infected with trojan.vundo, then read the instructions: How to remove trojan.vundo.

    Comment by Patrik — December 22, 2008 #

  64. I ran SDFix, but it seems to not be finishing out. It got as far as the reboot and the final run, but 1 1/2 days later, it still has the “Finishing malware detection Please be patient this could take a few minutes” screen. What’s wrong?? Am I missing something here? What do I have to do to get it to run all the way through? And how do I get rid of SDFix once I’m done with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    Comment by tekktronic — December 28, 2008 #

  65. Please reboot your computer manually, after that, follow these instructions.

  74. Hi,
    My neighour’s laptop with xp sp3; strange behavior (spyware?) after 1/2 year without virus protection. Ran Spyware Doctor, it removed lots of spyware, problems stay. Mbam neither sdfix.exe does start its installation in normal mode or in safe mode.
    I ran out of ideas. Can you give some advise?

    Comment by Jan — February 22, 2009 #

  75. Can’t run SDFix because RunThis.bat doesn’t download with SDFix!!!! How can I get RunThis.bat?

    Comment by R. Lous — March 23, 2009 #

  76. Probably your system drive is not C, use the command: %systemdrive%\SDFix\RunThis.bat for run SDFix

    Comment by Patrik — March 23, 2009 #

  77. I need help. I did everything according to the instructions written in this website, but SDFix won\’t start at all after typing %systemdrive… on the Run. It says: “C:\SDFix refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is poperly inserted….” What could I be doing that might be wrong?
    By the way, I am trying to eliminate Packed.Generic.200 virus. Is this the right tool? Thanks.

    Comment by Magni — March 31, 2009 #

  78. Magni, please follow these steps.

    Comment by Patrik — April 1, 2009 #

  79. OK, I am only able to do the first two initial steps in the “How to use Spyware Removal Forum – MUST READ”. I was able to download/save the HijackThis installer onto my desktop. But when I double-clicked it, it didn’t install the program. No HijackThis icon was created, and thus I was unable to do a system scan and save a logfile. Perhaps the virus (or viruses) is (are) preventing me from installing HijackThis. What do I do next?

    Comment by Magni — April 1, 2009 #

  80. Magni, try rename hijackthis installer to “myapp” (for example) and run it again.

    Comment by Patrik — April 1, 2009 #

  81. thanks

    Comment by Rozh — April 3, 2009 #

  83. Try it, also you can ask us for help at our forums.

    Comment by Patrik — April 8, 2009 #

  84. Is SDfix still being updated?

    the current version is dated 6th November.

    over 6 months ago

    Comment by bob — April 19, 2009 #

  85. SDfix can fix some of my problem, but some sdfix also detected as virus on my virus scanner, why?

    Comment by Golden Computer — May 16, 2009 #

  86. Its false alert. Some security programs will incorrectly identify this tool as potentially or actually malicious due to some of it’s components. Although these files can be used maliciously, they are an integral part of the fix and I recommend you disable your antivirus.

    Comment by Patrik — May 18, 2009 #

  87. Has Andy developed a version of SDFIX for Vista? I understand the current version will only run with W2K and XP.

    Comment by Robert Brandenburg — May 30, 2009 #

  88. Robert, looks like no.
