Double-click on the SDFix. If a “Security Warning window opens”, click on the Run button.
Follow the prompts.

Questions and answers.
If this error message “The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator. Press any key to continue . . ” is displayed when running SDFix.
Please goto Start Menu > Run > then copy and paste the following line: %systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\swreg IMPORT %systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\Enable_Command_Prompt.reg
Press OK then run SDFix again
If the Command Prompt window flashes on then off again on XP or Windows2000.
Please goto Start Menu > Run > then copy and paste the following line: %systemdrive%\SDFix\apps\FixPath.exe /Q Reboot and then run SDFix again
If SDFix still doesnt run check the %comspec% variable.
Goto Start Menu > Right click My Computer > click properties > click Advanced Click Environment Variables and check that the ComSpec variable points to cmd.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe
If you are still having problems, then I would recommend that you follow the instructions and post your logs in the spyware removal forum. I will help you.
thx to use sd fix
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
Try to download SDfix later, also you can to try Combofix (very good tool).
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

1. Disable antivirus before start SDFix.
2. Rename SDFix.exe to s123.exe, for example, and run again.

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.
cool
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.
