Let me begin by saying that I have tried to search for the solution and can't seem to get a hit on it. I might be a bit rusty since I have used Spybot since day one and have NEVER had anything more than the simplest glitches, so if I missed it - apologies in advance. I have tried just about anything I can think of or have seen suggested for "similar" stuff hoping to resolve it but now I feel that maybe its not me and the community should know so we can resolve it.
The scan runs relatively super fast (less than 3-7 minutes on average pretty much always). This is running in advance mode, with NO exceptions or exclusions, and running the full gambit. Overheating, system resources, updates, program version, OS related stuff are not the issue as I would have caught those after 15 years without bugging everyone.
I have a Windows XP SP2 with all proper patches and updates in place. No conflicting applications running. I have limited the system to JUST running Spybot to make sure no conflict. My system is 99% of the time very clean (I am pretty anal about security) so I doubt any malware is blocking the scan. The scan ALWAYS goes to 121552/124243 which is almost at the end and gets there pretty quick but even after leaving it running for countless hours, nothing.
Now the kicker is that neither the application nor the OS or any other application freezes or anything. In fact I can pause or cancel the scan and do anything I want in the meantime, even clean close the application but it will NOT complete the scan for the life of me I don't get it. I have attached a screenshot for what its worth and would appreciate any help. I am running the latest build with the latest updates as of this morning.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more information than already mentioned to be provided. I love the application and just want to see it do what it was intended to do and do it well, that's all.
