    Friday my Internet Explorer would take almost 2 minutes from the time I clicked to the time it opened. I ran Ad-aware, Pestpatrol & Spybot. Ad-aware and Pestpatrol were clean, just a couple cookies. Spybot give me the following error message:

    “Error during check!: Xuron55.Installdollars (Datei C:\WINNT\win.ini kann nicht ge?ffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()

    Congratulations!: No immediate threats were found. ()”

    I can’t clear it. I’ve used msconfig to uncheck everything, but Win.INI won’t uncheck. I’m still getting this in Safemode.

    Does anyone have any ideas??? My system is a 1.3Ghz running W2K sp4. All updates are current.

    Thanks – Tim

      That is a common error in Spybot and usually means that program updates (not definition updates) have not been installed.

      Try updating Spybot and see if error disappears (it should). Otherwise, it is not harming anything and is not associated with adware/spyware.
