Trojans SBI

[phil]

My computer slowed down lately and I checked for virus with Spybot . At one
point I got a message
" Warning : C Program files/spybot-search and destroy includes/trojan.sbi
See included errors log."

I had all errors corrected and let spybot check the computer once more.
The same "warning" came up.
What does it mean ?
Thanks

C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes\Trojans.sbi
is a data file installed and used by the program to detect Trojan infection.

My guess is this file is missing, or corrupt - possibly as a result of
malware infection.

I should re-install Spybot - search & Destroy, and run it.
First, download all updates, then scan again.

I cannot find the log-file referred to on my system

Funnily enough I just got a similar message when running freshly installed
and updated Spybot S & D on a Win XP SP2 workstation.

This machine had bits of Smitfraud, CoolWWWsearch, and torpig on it.

The look and feel of this message is malware. Have you done any further
research?
