I tried Microsofts recent Windows Defender, seemed to work ok, but noticed
an entry in 'currently running programs' an entry entitled FbubswrA.exe,
referenced as a "system montior". I could not find this entry under any of
windows' other applications (taskmgr, msconfig, etc). So I disabled Windows
Defender for the time being. Anyone out there know if this works or not, if
it's worth having, and can it co exist with Spyware Blaster, Ad Aware se, CA
antivirus (free 1 yr sub.). Oh yeah, if I run Trend micro's SysClean, I
assume i should disable these other apps.?.?

thx.

But the Executable process is a Virus did you cleaned your machine,
disabling Defender will not eliminate the problem/threat, the virus is
generating itself from a hidden file/application on your system.
Try to scan in safe mode and normal mode, disable this Process FbubswrA.exe
from runing.
To do that look in the registry:
Open arun command and type in : regedit click [OK] and on the Registry
Editor look for these Keys:
[-] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =
Look in the Right pane/window and see if the process FbubswrA.exeis there
and remove it
the same on this Key with \RunOnce =

[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =
Remove the process FbubswrA.exe if it is there.

[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce=
Remove the suspecious process FbubswrA.exe
[-]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Ext =
look for any extension create on the Explorer and deelte it.
---------
Look here;
C:\Windows\FbubswrA.exe remove it
C:\Windows\System32\FbubswrA.exe remove it.
Try to turn the Show Hidden files to be able to see all files and get rid of
it then uncheck it again.
Clear/delete your Temp files/folder:
C:\Windows\Temp =
C:\Windows\Remp\Temporary Internet Files =

HTH.
Let us know.

Found the folder (system32) i forgot to enable "see hidden files..."
couldnt find the "FbubswrA.exe" anywhere using explorer, but found it
w/msconfig, and disabled it there, then i just re enabled windows defender,
should i re-enable the "Fbub" with msconfig then scan and delete? Don't
want to assume, I would rather know for sure before I attempt the scan,
which i plan on running safe mode, let me know plz n thx.
