SPYBOT freezes

[Zenobia]

No,it does not,the link has to do with Spybot freezing,as you indicated that you didn't add a Download Directory for Spybot to scan.

If you did add a download directory,to remove it you'd open Spybot-S&D Start Center,put a checkmark in advanced user mode,go to Settings,say Yes if prompted by UAC,click the Download Directory tab,then highlight the directory,click Remove,then Apply,and OK.

Oops,I do see Please wait scanning Download Directories in the ignore list,so apparently Spybot must automatically scan that.
You could try opening Spybot-S&D Start Center,put a checkmark in advanced user mode,go to Settings,say Yes if prompted by UAC,click the Ignore Lists tab,then under Products,click Add...,then type in Please,highlight Please wait scanning download directory,click OK,then Apply and OK once again to ignore that part of the scan,to see if the scan will complete.
