C2.lop - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Question for this learned assembly:
Why is that when I run my Spybot Search and Destroy it always slows down when it scans for C2.lop's? After it slows down it returns to its normal speed. Is there a reason for this? Just wondering

I noticed the same thing when running scans with spybot. A quick search eventually pointed me to this FAQ from their site. http://security.kolla.de/index.php?l...ase/faq/faq022

Why does the scan hang during detection of C2.lop? link FAQ #022

The exact reason isn't yet known, as this error seems to be sporadic and only on a few machines, but there's a simple way around it. Start Spybot-S&D in advanced mode, open the Excludes section, and select C2.lop for exclusion of the scan (tick the checkbox in front of the C2.lop entry). This will avoid scan of C2.lop until a bugfix comes out (soon).

Update: Some reports have confirmed that this happened only after installation of the Zone Alarm firewall, and stopped by deactivating ZoneAlarm.

Update: Cleaning the Windows Temp folder will help as well. Newer Windows versions provide a tool for this. Open your start menu at Programs -> Accessoires -> System and you'll see a harddisk cleaner.

had same problem, run a program called HiJack this. it is much better than Ad-Aware or Spybot. It is very quick and when you see the results of the search, just check everything that looks like shit and delete it.
Probably the program you got is something like free scratch ticket or some other gambling program that someone clicked yes on. Other thing you could do is go to excludes in spybot and check the boxes with c2.lop. Spybot will then run the whole program.
