View Full Version : Search and Destroy Hangs
Hello. I'm having a problem with the latest version of Search and Destroy. I downloaded and installed it correctly, but whenever I run the program, it starts very slowly and then my system hangs. I did not have this problem with the previous version. I'm running Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
This could be caused by several reasons like too much temporary files or problems with the system restore point.
If this doesn't help please delete the contents of your Windows temp folder.
You can also try the following:
- select "Settings" --> "Settings" in the navigation bar on the left and untick the checkbox in front of "display confirmation dialogs"
- exit Spybot-S&D so the settings are saved
- run Spybot-S&D and "Check for problems" again
Expect it to run slowly, it appears to hang. Please be patient - it should clear with the problems fixed.
If it still doesn't work please select "Settings" --> "Settings" from the toolbar on the left. In the section "Main settings" please untick the checkbox in front of "Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks".
Greetings
Meik
