I'd like to throw something in here. While scanning with Spybot 1.3 it came
to a halt with an error. The error was an
"Xabot" error. After many attempts to figure this out I searched Xabot. This
lead to Symantics site 
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.xabot.worm.html
and http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sdbotna.html where it is
associated with Sdbot. 

Well, for sure I am having a hell of a time finding it as all conventional
means have failed. 3 online scans. 3 scans in safe mode. Hijack This,
Swat-it, Bazooka and still Spybot is halted with the error. I uninstalled
Spybot three times. It seems I have a remnant somewhere.

thank you
