Ahh...this shit...

Glad I'm not alone in being hit with spybot crashing on trying to remove it....the only way I could get round it was to disable spybot scanning for the c2.lop stuff...sure, if it's on there...it doesn't clean it...but I've never had a case where I've actually found any of the c2.lop stuff anyway...so..eh...and I think I'd know if my browser got hijacked.

Ein? please say you've a solution for fixing the freezing?

I got it, coaan. Try to update your spybot. It will probably freeze. Go to Check for updates>then select the australian mirror. (everything aussie is superior, aparently. GOD BLESS EM!) you can download it, then, it'll get past the C2.lop freeze up and kill that fucker. (See my venting rant! :) )
