try running the scan in safe mode by restarting your computer, then when windows starts to load hit f8 until a screen pops up with options and select safe mode. run the scan in safe mode and let me know if it finishes. Another solution is to completely uninstall and install the latest version again.

Concur with prior report.

Tried restart in Safe Mode, but it makes no difference. Looking more and more like a bug.

that you are using sp3 for windows xp. Sp3 is currently in beta form, and that may be causing the problem.
To apple: Are you beta testing for service pack 3 as well for Microsoft windows XP?
Also, Did you both try completely removing the program and then reinstalling the newest version?

Hallo Sandra,

yes I'm running version 1.5.2 with all updates.

When running scans with Trojans.sbi the scan did not finish. If only scan Trojans.sbi the scan runs to end (23430/23430Zwax) but dont finish. All other scan options / points running to end and finish.

I think this problem are since the last update but im not sure.
Hope you can help me.

Please close all other applications during the Spybot scan.

If this does not help please edit the shortcut icon on your desktop that is used to run Spybot-S&D.
Rightclick the icon and choose properties.
Then include a /verbose in it's link location.
To see how to do that please have a look at this link in our forum:

When you do a scan now, it will show an 8 digit number in the status bar at the bottom, like $1234ABCD.
Please post the ID here.
We can use this information to look up where exactly it hangs. Thanks. :)

Hi Sandra

thanks for answer. With help from the german forum I found the reason about the problem.

I had activated a download directory; if disable it it scans to end and finisch.
