bfl13,

If by crash you mean that when you click on fix, Spybot basically shuts down or "drops out of the program", and you are running Office 2000 then try this.

At the completion of your next scan, and before you attempt to fix any items, look for the following tracking entry in the to be fixed list:

MS Office 9.0: Recently used files:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Office\Recent\

Click on the "-" sign to the left of the item to open it up, left click on the contained item to highlight it, then right click and select Exclude this detection from further searches.

I have experienced this problem on all of my XP computers that had Office 2000 installed. It has been reported on the forum previously but I wan't able to find the reference to it tonight.
