View Full Version : spybot v1.5 bug
i downloaded the new version of spybot v1.5 and installed it
however, the program hung after updating and had to force it to end via task manager, after which the program cannot be started again.
can someone tell me what's the problem and the solution to it? i rely on spybot a lot to scan my computer for trojan horses and other malwares.

i use it and it works great. search the forums for it. it fixes alot of issues such as that.
After downloading patched version of spybot by the spybot team, everything was done smoothly. However, when i booted up the comp the next day, my explorer (namely explorer.exe) could not work well because of the file SDDelFile.exe was duplicating as a process and flooded my computer. It replicated until about 200+ processes and i had to kill the processes one by one. Wat is happening? Can someone from the spybot team help me out?
To the previous post, the patched version is the actually the halloween edition
Hello.

Is it possible the machine is infected? Also please open Spybot Search & Destroy > Help > About, and let us know the version and definitions stated.
