@Argus

I'm sorry! This was a suggestion for Peter Pan. Your problem is different. Please use filemon and poste your report in our forum.

Apart from that, please add a screen shot of the error message or tell us the exact error message.

Hi, I don't get any error messages, but spybot just disappears just before completion of a scan. it gets up tyo about 63,889, and then vanishes.
Nothing appears in event viewer, or anywhere that I can find.
I haven't been able to complete a scan with spybot for quite some time now.

I originally posted about this here, but the issue was confused by numerous FP's which it seems were caused by corruption of spybots' / spyware blasters' immunizations.

The FP's are all gone, but I'm left with a disappearing spybot.

Ok, I'm, now scanning with spybot, with filemon running, will post results.

Hi, I can't attach the full log, even zipped it comes out as over 2 mb, the forum won't accept it. I put the last 10 or so lines in the attachment, if you pm me with an email address, I can send teh whole thing if you need it.
the last file scanned

497235 11:18:36 AM SpybotSD.exe:864 CLOSE C:\My Documents\Downloads\Setups\dxwebsetup.exe SUCCESS

which is where spybot vanished.

Normally it doesn't make it that far thru the scan, as I mentioned before, it usually crashes at 63,889 (video access activex object), this time it made it thru to at least 65,000. I don't know for sure, I was watching filemon.

We are getting closer. It seems that you have added folders in "Settings->Directories". Is this correct?

If yes, please try this:

1. Deactivate the file set "Trojans.sbi" in "Settings->File set" and try to scan.

2. Activate the file set again, remove the download folders and try to scan again.

3. Now a scan test without "Trojan.sbi" and without the added download folders.

Please poste us the results.

Hi Chi-Va, and thanks :-)

Yes, I did have several directories in settings -> directories

results:
1) crashes as usual

2) scan completed!!!

3) didn;'t do, as 2) worked. I can do if you feel there's any need to, or it would help at all.

Many thanks, argus

Which Windows version do you use?

Please take a look here:

Try the suggestion from md usa spybot fan and replace your advcheck.dll.

I'm running WXP SP2.

As I mentioned in reply to "md usa spybot fan", replacing to DLL solved the problem. Please note after download of the beta version, Spybot SD didn't terminate and restart by itselft. I had to quit and restart the program by myself (but I didn't care!)

Thanks a lot for your help and efficiency.

Best regards
