Recently i got a airtel 2-5 Kbps line. I felt no need to install any security suit.
Yesterdy i observed much transfes. Think high time i installed ZA. ZA gives every sec a popup saying "stonedrv.exe" wants to connect.
Manul deletion of stonedrv.exe says access denied.
Then i installed spybot. Running spybot says first update it. After updating, while launching it says again to update.

What is the problem.
Graveness of problem is clear to all: i choose to reamain offline now.

Stonedrv.exe is Covert Sys Exec malware.

um, if Spybot doesnt work try Ad-aware, also post your HJT log or get it auto analysed at hijackthis.de

schedule a boot-time of ur spybot. yes spybot does identify and remove this threat. else search for it and use 'delete doctor' to delete it (www.diskcleaners.com). ewido anti-spyware is another one u can add to ur arsenal.

i trust u have an av installed. if not install freeware like avast.

thanx all of u.
put spybot + Za +avast togethar. it seems alright now.
is it necessary to keep ruuning all these things all time.
Now i think i get a slower speed. i will check the speed some more times to draw some conclusions.
I am wating for any inputs from u all.
