spybots quits

The program always worked on this machine but since the last update it does not if I uninstall and reinstall and update without the new advcheck.dll it works.

The problem is it just quits in the middle of a scan.
If I update advcheck.dll it quits in the malware.sbi ( DyFUCA)
If I exclude malware.sbi It will finish.

I tried safe mode and many other spyware programs hijackthis etc.
Virus programs ( kaspersky, Avira etc.)

I cant find anything

Any ideas ?

xp sp2 all the updates, Kaspersky Internet


:spider:

quits

I must also add:


it does sometimes , like stated in one of the others thread, automatically user aborts.
:sad:

No ideas, but it sounds similar to what I get.
The first time I thought it was related to DEP, as I found that message saying that windows had shut down spybot "to protect my computer", but putting spybot in the DEP ignore list and rebooting has made no difference.

I have yet to try in safe mode, as suggested by Spybotsandra, but will do so soon.

I have never had this, or the user abort thing happen before, when I scanned last week spybot worked just fine. :sad:

DyFUCA fix !

FYI

Problem fixed !


Used sysinternal filemon to monitor file SpybotSD.exe actvity.
Found that the last file is the one causing the crash is qfecheck.exe
witch is an M$ xp sp1 file ( Q 282784) to verify the installed fixes.
Renaming that file stops the problem ( removed file ext.).

Hello,

Good work!:bigthumb:

With your help our detectives should be able to fix this very soon.

Many thanks to 200spy

Hi,

I encoutered the same issue: since its last update, SpyBot S&D quit near the end of a scan, in ZQest.K8L search. After reading the prost of 200spy, I Proceeded by trial and error and so I identified that search of several types of products caused the unrelevant ending: dialers.sbi, malware.sbi, malwareC.sbi, spybots.sbi, spybotsC.sbi.

Differently from 200spy, unselecting only malware.sbi and/or renaming qfecheck.exe (located in \windows\system32 rather than \windows on my PC) didn't solve the problem. But replacing new version of advcheck.dll by the pevious one did!

Now Spybot S&B seems to work fine with previous version of advcheck.dll

Thanks again

Removing qfecheck.exe still works for me but may not be the solution for
you.

I would suggest you try filemon.exe if you have the problem again
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/fileanddiskutilities.mspx

It's a simple program all you have to do is use the filter
include SpybotSD.exe for the search and let it run and then start SpybotSD.exe , when it stops you will have a log of the activity and could find out where it gets stuck.

I am not too sure that going back to a previous version of advcheck.dll
is any good . That's why I have investigated further.

I don't know how SpybotSD.exe works but it could be detecting a file related to qfecheck.exe on my computer

qfecheck.exe

Be carefull.
I removed the exe part of qfecheck.exe. If you simply rename it, let say abc.exe
spybot may pick it up again as an executable file and block you again
:laugh:

It does work with DLL version 1.5.2 yet but with version 1.5.1

Hi,

for 200spy, I did rename the file by deleting its exe extension but this workaround didn't solve the problem for me.

Till today, I was running previous version of advcheck.dll and it seemed to work fine. I just checked by replacing the DLL with its current version (1.5.2) and the issue appeared again!
So I go back to version 1.5.1 as it works.

Hey support team, any comment or solution?

Best regards

Which Windows version do you use?

Try the suggestion from md usa spybot fan and replace your advcheck.dll.

using the advcheck.dll in teh beta "advanced detection updates", as suggested in the thread you linked to hasn't helped for me :sad:

@Argus

I'm sorry!:sad: This was a suggestion for Peter Pan. Your problem is different. Please use filemon and poste your report in our forum.
www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Filemon.mspx

Apart from that, please add a screen shot of the error message or tell us the exact error message.

Hi, I don't get any error messages, but spybot just disappears just before completion of a scan. it gets up tyo about 63,889, and then vanishes.
Nothing appears in event viewer, or anywhere that I can find.
I haven't been able to complete a scan with spybot for quite some time now.

I originally posted about this here, but the issue was confused by numerous FP's which it seems were caused by corruption of spybots' / spyware blasters' immunizations.

The FP's are all gone, but I'm left with a disappearing spybot.

Ok, I'm, now scanning with spybot, with filemon running, will post results.

Hi, I can't attach the full log, even zipped it comes out as over 2 mb, the forum won't accept it. I put the last 10 or so lines in the attachment, if you pm me with an email address, I can send teh whole thing if you need it.
the last file scanned

497235 11:18:36 AM SpybotSD.exe:864 CLOSE C:\My Documents\Downloads\Setups\dxwebsetup.exe SUCCESS

which is where spybot vanished.

Normally it doesn't make it that far thru the scan, as I mentioned before, it usually crashes at 63,889 (video access activex object), this time it made it thru to at least 65,000. I don't know for sure, I was watching filemon.

We are getting closer. It seems that you have added folders in "Settings->Directories". Is this correct?

If yes, please try this:

1. Deactivate the file set "Trojans.sbi" in "Settings->File set" and try to scan.

2. Activate the file set again, remove the download folders and try to scan again.

3. Now a scan test without "Trojan.sbi" and without the added download folders.

Please poste us the results.

Hi Chi-Va, and thanks

Yes, I did have several directories in settings -> directories

results:
1) crashes as usual

2) scan completed!!! :bigthumb:

3) didn;'t do, as 2) worked. I can do if you feel there's any need to, or it would help at all.

Many thanks, argus

It works fine

I'm running WXP SP2.

As I mentioned in reply to "md usa spybot fan", replacing to DLL solved the problem. Please note after download of the beta version, Spybot SD didn't terminate and restart by itselft. I had to quit and restart the program by myself (but I didn't care!)

Thanks a lot for your help and efficiency.

Best regards
