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!
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.
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.

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.

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!
