    Default please wait while scanning download directories

    I update SD from 1.5 to 1.6 without problem and after that update 1.6.
    When i start a scan and cancel the scan right when it's started to scan( in the status bar show any like scanning(1/123213) ), SD dont stop scanning and its get stuck in the scanning of the download directory by several minutes.
    is it a issue of SD 1.6?

    Hello,

    There seems to be a problem with your download directory/directories.
    At the end of the Spybot scan download directories are also scanned.
    Please have a look at your download directory/directories and try to disable it/them.

    You can do that this way:
    Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
    Now select 'Settings' - 'Directories' from the navigation bar on the left.
    Then highlight your directory/directories by clicking on it/them.
    Then make a rightclick on it/them and choose 'Remove the selected directory from the list'.
    This should help to get the scan to work.

    Best regards
    Sandra
