Full Scan Doesn't End

I have been a Spybot user for many years. I am encountering an issue today and I am reaching out to the community for some guidance. I updated the program yesterday and then ran a full scan which I know takes a long time. This morning I came to my PC and saw that it said 100.0% at the top left corner of the window but at the bottom it still says scan progressing on the left, in the middle it shows 4E2AF2AC and on the right it says Scanning for Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files.... In addition, in the progress area it shows Status: Scan progressing, Product: Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files.... and it shows the progress bar all filled but it is still getting the moving light across it.

This is going on 20 hours which is really long. Anyone know what this could be???
 
Hello chrisc12, :welcome:

Have you tried another scan with the same result?

Best regards.
 
Hello,

Buzzsaw.Bob which version and edition of Spybot do you have: http://www.safer-networking.org/shop/


Do either of you have other security programs installed, if so please list them.

Also, did you elevate Spybot's permissions?

Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Choose Run as administrator from the context menu.

Best regards.

running Avast antivirus. Have tried running Spybot version 2.5.42.0 as administrator, issues still occuring. Uninstalled and resinstalled as well.

This is now happening to me. Was a solution found?

Not been able to run a scan for a month as it keeps stopping on zlob.zipcodec

Ive read its a trojan but still not sure why it brings Spybot to an halt.

Zlob.ZipCodec Causing Spybot Freeze

I am having the same issue. Spybot runs and at the end sits on scanning Zlob.ZipCodec. I'm running Windows 10 and Spybot 2.4.40.130. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Same issue.

Thanks,...and I hope someone has the answer!:bigthumb:
 
Same Issue

I'm having the same issue. I'm using spybot 2.5 with anti-virus. The scan won't finish when it gets to 100% it loops straight into a new scan. I also notice on the top right it always says the software is being updated where I presume it should say your software is up to date. This has been going on with me since I bought it. I've been patiently waiting for a patch hoping it would be fixed. I have un-installed and re-installed but keep getting the same results. I have un-installed and tried it on 2 other laptops all running windows 10 and I get the same results the scan won't finish it just keeps looping to a new one.
 
Please Help.

Forgive me I have no idea where to go to post this, but this seems like the right place.

My Spybot has been stuck on Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files for the past three days. It never finishes the scan. It gets stuck on it. I have no idea what needs to be done on anything.

Warning for the one who might come to my aid. I have zero knowledge on any of this jargon that I have seen in the forums. I don't understand a lick of anything written here or how to do anything.

Same here

I use Spybot for years.

But suddenly at scan it freezes on 100% with the Product: Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files

Tried everything, scanned with other tools, cleaned etc. Uninstalled and reinstalled, running as admin. Always same result. Already for weeks.

I use W10.

Don't know what to do now.
 
Waiting for Safer-Networking?

I think we need the parent company, Safer-Networking Ltd, to come to our rescue. This is apparently a fairly widespread issue that either involves the Spybot application directly or its interface with Windows 10.

I hope someone there reads these posts! :rolleyes:
 
I got it to run!

I reported the bug also. Hope it's solved soon.

I had a support person respond to my request with the following advice: "Please open Spybot Settings and switch to the Categories tab. Deselect all products except Trojans-ZL-000. After that rescan your system. In case it
again stops, make a screenshot of the whole Spybot window and add it to your next mail to us."

At first, I could not get the Settings menu to open for two days, but then this morning I ran the Update option a couple of times until all updates were made. The Settings menu finally popped up! Then I followed the directions above and ran the scan with only Trojans-ZL-000 selected. It ran fine except on the last item to be checked (Firefox bookmarks), it took about 5 minutes to complete.

After the revised scan completed with no issues, I went back and selected all the Categories in the Settings menu and re-ran the scan. Again, it took a long time to complete the last entry (Firefox bookmarks), but it completed successfully, showing me a number of things to be fixed.

It looks like I finally have a working Spybot application!
