Error Duringcheck!

[xscapes]

I get a reading that containes the above information followed by -
WINPUP32 (Ungultiger Datentyp fur) after I run Spybot.
The reading immediately after that says No Threats Found.

So what does the other one mean??

What version of Spybot are you running (Spybot > Help > About)?

Please post the exact error message you are getting. Look in the Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log file produced during the scan.

Note: By default here are two Checks.yymmdd-hhmm logs produced during a scan. The second Checks.yymmdd-hhmm has the details of what the scan found. A Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log is produced if you fix or attempt to fix something.

Two methods to copy that information:

• Method 1:
  • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Pervious reports. Look for the last Checks.yymmdd-hhmm or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm from when you got the error message. Open it. To copy to the Clipboard > highlight the portion you want to copy (or Right click and select Select All) > Right click > Copy.
• Method 2
  • The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm files are stored in the following folders:
    • Windows 95 or 98:
      C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows ME:
      C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the correct Checks.yymmdd-hhmm file. Double click on it and it should open with Notepad. To copy to the Clipboard > highlight the portion you want to copy (or Right click and select Select All) > Right click > Copy.

That's gonna take me a bit. I'll play around with it and post the results tomorrow.

I'm running Windows XP with Spybot 1.3.

Maybe my McAfee is causing a problem with it? I just upgraded to Internet Security Suite 2006.

We'll see......

Sorry it took me so long to get this done. You know how it goes...
Life is something that happens when you have plans for something else. :p


This is the report I originally had a question about....

This is the report that was generated today.

The error appears whenever I run Spybot.

Is my McAfee Internet Secutiry Suite 2006 causing this somehow?
