I've used the old version of Spybot with much success and recently updated to the latest version. When I run the program it identifies 40 problems but when I select "fix" , the window closes and nothing happens.
I've looked through FAQ but haven't found the same problem addressed.
I've followed the "how to enable the select button" on your website but can't find a "setting" option on my screen. Some help would be appreciated.

I don’t really think that enabling those options is going to solve your problem (see Note #1). But in any case:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > scroll to the bottom of the list.
What I suggest that you do is tell us something about your system (OS, etc.) and show us what detections you are getting as follows:
Run another scan.
When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
Then paste those results to a new post in this thread.
Note #1: How to enable the Select all button

My OS is Windows XP Pro on a Dell pent 4 desktop.
Here is the results of the latest scan.

You can try to run Spybot-S&D in Safe mode and see if it will clean up your problems. To reboot your system in Safe mode see:
Starting your computer in Safe mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam)
If Spybot-S&D still fails to remove the problems you can request assistance in the Malware Removal forum.
Follow the instructions here:
BEFORE you post a log, and who will advise you.
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
Then post in the following forum:
Malware Removal
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22
Safe mode produced the same results. I did notice that only 38 problems were detected compared to 40 the last couple of days.
Ill follow your advice re switching to a different forum.
Thanks
