Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!
Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.
We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Hello,
Please try to delete the files seperately after a scan.
This error message appears if too many bad files are found and should be deleted in one run.

Possible Fix
If I had to guess, I'd say delzip179.dll is used to create backups everything you clean. You might be able to fix this problem by turning off backups. Here's how:
1. Go to the Mode menu and choose "Advanced mode".
2. Choose Settings - Settings and under "Main settings" you'll see three entries.
3. Uncheck "Create backups of fixed spyware problems for easy recovery."
4. Uncheck "Create backups of removed usage tracks for easy recovery."
5. Uncheck "Create backups of fixed system internal problems for easy recovery."
6. Now run a scan like normal and fix the problems like you always would.
Did this work?
WARNING: Realize not having backups could cause problems for obvious reasons.

My friend has a problem with viruses and spyware including Vundo, Virtumonde, AntiSpyMaster, DriveCleaner, MalWareAlarm, etc. When Spybot 1.52 was halfway through cleaning these entries....it was removing .dll files with random letters for the filename(part of Virtumode)....it gave the same error message and just hung. He then ran Spybot from safemode so it wouldn't have to deal with a lot of memory-resident crap, but this didn't seem to help matters any. The error message above reappeared. When the computer restarted, three error messages appear saying that 4-5randomletters.dll could not be found. I believe these were the three virtumonde dll files that Spybot got rid of, at least partially, before it got hung up. I'm guessing that Spybot only got a chance to delete the files and didn't delete the entries in the registry before it got hung up.
Should he try deleting the entries from the registry manually...or should he reinstall Spybot and try again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
