Malwarebytes wants me to give them a credit card number to download their free trial. I don’t think so.

Spybot can see it, but can’t get rid of it. It tells me to restart in safe mode, but then it can’t see it.

What do I do?

Spybot appears to fully remove DoubleD.* Note Symantec , Kaspersky & Sophos (all fully updated) failed to detect this. 10/10 Spybot.

Mike, actually there are big differences between trial and full version and one of that is the auto-protect. With regards in removing malware, trial can do it. Have you tried to scan in Safe Mode?

If you decided to get MalwareBytes’ Full Version for your protection and prevent being infected again. You may get it here.

MalwareBytes found a few hundred “adware doubled” infections but when i tried to quarantine them it hung after a few files. I tried several times but it did the same and my only option was to power off the PC.

I haven’t purchased the software, but would you if that is what happened?

Yep – also got this one from a Facebook link to a games site (I know I know ! have already slapped self :-)

Kaspersky 2009 did NOT detect it on a full machine scan or prevent it getting in, many thanks to MalwareBytes’ excellent software for hopefully doing the business.

Spybot got rid of all these problems after trying nearly all pop up blockers and its free. Top marks spybot.

The link above directs the user to PC Tools.com.
This program did not even catch the infection, although it was there. I ran “Malwarebytes”, also a free download, and it found 551 files infected. Furthere it quarantined them and finally removed them.

Just a thought for your readers, as this can be an extremely annoying infection to say the least. I tried several spyware detection and removal tools before I found one that worked.
Incidentally, I suspect that this malicious file was placed by a Trojan virus which I detected and removed about 2 weeks ago. Got it from a gaming site referred by Facebook, so “heads up!”
