Running spybot V 1.6.0.30 Runs as a scheduled task from 21:30 for 1 hour 48mins then shuts itself down. Last line in the report: 28.11.2008 21:30:46 - ##### checking bots #####
Only Spybot running from 21:30, no browser, email programme, antivirus etc. Usage tracks are not scanned. Previous version would give the time it finished, normally around 55mins to complete.
Grateful any suggestions

Using version 1.6.1.38, have just run a quick check (scheduled to scan for usage tracks only). The log file shows

At a guess yours dropped out before completing the scan for some reason.
I will now do a full scan and post any additional thoughts.
Galceran,
Further to my last post - I ran a full scan with all items primarily to see whether the log could be used to give any indication of where it had stopped, but as you can see from the extract below, after it says ##### checking bots ##### at the start of the scan, it makes no further entries until right near the end of the scan where it starts to look for usage tracks

If you set up the scan to only look for spyware, then there is no entries between the "checking bots", and the "check finished" entries.
So all I can suggest is that yours stopped/exited the scan abruptly somewhere along the way. I guess the only thing is to do a scan and watch what happens - unfortunately that will be about as much fun as watching paint dry.

I have watched it shut down, that is how I know it runs for 1hr 48mins. The Spybot window just disappears. I have had Windows Task Manager running, in Processes Spybot will be showing around 75 only to disappear from the list. It has failed every day for some time so I would leave it running at the start (2130) and return about 2215hrs to watch it die, but no clues. I will try sacnning for usage tracks only.
I need to know the check finished time to schedule AVG to run shortly after et seq.
Thanks

Now I get Check Finished after including Malware.sbi and Usage tracks. A thought, these are the switches used in Scheduled Tasks Run window: /autocheck /autofix /autoclose

Galceran,
Two questions - does it abort the scan at the same place each time and if so what is showing in the status bar at the time, and does it still shut down abnormally if you don't have anything else sheduled to occur at a later time?

1. Yes it always appears to have completed the scan. It is run as a scheduled task and I do not get the full window with the buttons "Check for Problems", "Recover" etc. I get a smaller window with "Check in progress" on the Title bar, the progress of the scan "7038/346867" the first figure steps up rapidly, Time left for the scan to complete "42:38" this figure fluctuates - it can jump up to 45:02.
Eventually it shows "346867/346867", Time left "00:00". The window stays on screen for about 2 mins before closing. Inspection of the log does not show "Time finished"
2. This is always the first programme to run nightly followed (after 10min gap) by AVG, Norton Ghost Backup (once a week), finally Genie Backup.
Something connected with it running as a scheduled task?
Thanks
Galceran,
This is just a thought. Can you try running a scan for everything, but NOT setting it to carry out any fixes. Leave it set to close the program at the end of the scan.
If that works, and you then get the Time finished entry, I would suggest it is actually dropping out of the program part way through fixing the usage track entries.
If removing the fixes works, it will be a matter of isolating which item is causing Spybot to fall out of its program.
I am making that suggestion because I have had to exclude an MSOffice usage entry from several PC's that have Office 2000 installed, because Spybot drops out of the program as soon as it tries to fix that particular usage entry. Because it is not an entry of any concern I haven't bothered to investigate it any further, because excluding just that entry gets rid of the problem.
The other point to make is that you are probably aware that scan times have recently risen due to an increase in the number of threats being scanned for, so you should make sure to leave plenty of time before the other scheduled items are started.

Scan started 1354. Last line in the log:
29.11.2008 13:54:19 - ##### checking bots #####
I came back at 1459 to find it showing 314932/346867 Time left 00:00. It then took 3mins to reach 314965/346867 with ZLOB Downloader.bs as the item being scanned. At 1505 the window closed, however I noted the bottom bar of my browser had a SpyBot tab which would not maximise, opened Task Manager and Spybot not showing in processes but, Teatimer was active shutting down 3mins later at 1508. In other words it appears Teatime started running as soon as Spybot shut down.
What can you make of this?
Thanks

Why did you have your browser open?
Teatimer was active shutting down 3mins later at 1508.
I take it teatimer was running prior to the scheduled scan, and stopped at 15:08 i.e. it's icon disappeared from the task bar, is that correct.
.... 314932/346867 Time left 00:00. It then took 3mins to reach 314965/346867 with ZLOB Downloader.bs as the item being scanned. At 1505 the window closed
In an earlier post you indicated it always completes the scan "Eventually it shows "346867/346867", Time left "00:00". Did it get to 346867/346867 this time?
OK basically I don't know what the problem is - I would suggest you go back to basics, go into Spybot and turn off Teatimer (Advanced mode/Tools/Resident, untick the box). Clear out your temporary files and browser caches, reboot the computer and manually scan with your browser closed then fix anything it finds. If that works, then schedule another scan (at this stage with Teatimer inactive). You might also consider shutting down any other AS and AV software normally running (off line of course) to try to isolate the problem.

Sorry misled you there. Bottom bar of the Taskbar had a Spybot tab showing, could not see all of its title (Spybot - ..) too many tabs open.
It was only when the Spybot scan window closed that the other tab then appeared, presumably Teatimer from what Task Manager showed. Whether it was running prior to the scan I don't know, not noticed this tab before.
Did it get to 346867? Possibly, as you remarked it's like watching paint dry. The window closes before you can remember the last count.
I will proceed as you suggest.
Thanks

Everything closed whilst Spybot running. AVG scheduled to run at 2315, which it has been doing. Presume TeaTimer can be switched on now and uncheck the one exclusion. May have to schedule AVG for 2330 if results return to showing no Check Finished.
Thanks Gilbert
Galceran,
I'm not sure what the present status is. You turned off Teatimer and ran the scan manually as suggested. The results you posted however don't indicate to me that you completed the fix following the scan, and you didn't say whether these results were with the AV disabled or not.
In addition, you also removed the ZLOB.Downloads.bs from the scan. I appreciate your reason for doing this but I still don't know whether you can physically complete a full scan including ZLOB.Downloads.bs and including making the fixes, all as a manual operation without problems.
Perhaps you could clarify that, and also let's know what difference if any having the AV disabled during the Spybot scan makes. One of the things I was hoping to see, if/when the check finished message appeared at the end of the log, was the total time taken. The results in your last post suggest that with ZLOB.Downloads.bs included (which you indicated was almost making the scan stall) the overall time may indeed have run into the scheduled start time of the second task.
It was also my intention, if the above was completing correctly, to then ask you do a sheduled version again, still without Teatimer present, without any other task being scheduled to take place afterwards.

Sorry the last results posted were of a scheduled scan. I cannot remember exactly what happened with the manual scans which I did get right in the end and then started the scheduled scans. The last scan had the switches /autoscan /autofix /autoclose in the command line. AVG was not disabled.
OK I will start over again. Problem is that I am kept busy with adding new members to a password protected website most of the day. The maintenance programmes run from 21:55 to 03:15.
However I shall make time in the mornings for manual scans as suggested. ZLOB.Downloads.bs included, AVG disabled, fix at the end. First result tomorrow about 1000hrs GMT.
Thanks

No excludes, AVG disabled, Nothing else open except Spybot. Scan completed in 32mins. I then opened Ignore Products to check ZLOB.Downloader.bs had been unchecked, it was. Found I was unable to return to the Problem list, the normal Check for Problems, Recovery, Search for Updates window was showing. Is there a way to get back to the fix problems window or once you leave is that it?
Ran another check to do a fix. There was another result for 09:02 similar to the 09:04, excluded that as it did not appear relevant. Let me know if you wish to see it.

..Scan completed in 32mins.
I did expect that the scan time would be reduced if the antivirus software and Teatimer were disabled during the scan, but a reduction from 1 hour 48 minutes (see your earlier post) to 32 minutes is impressive.
Is there a way to get back to the fix problems window or once you leave is that it?
When you leave it, that's it. The only way to regenerate the items to be fixed is to do another scan.
OK, as I see it, with the AV disabled, you are able to complete a full manual scan in just 32 minutes, and the only thing it found was green usage tracking entries, and it was able to "fix" all of these. So that is all good.
At the end of my previous post I said "It was also my intention, if the above was completing correctly, to then ask you do a sheduled version again, still without Teatimer present, without any other task being scheduled to take place afterwards."
That is the next step. In order that this be a logical progression from where you are now, AVG should be disabled (and also Teatimer, if it was disabled for the previous manual test - you didn't actually confirm this). The main two points for this test is to have everything the same as when you ran the manual test subject of your last post, and to NOT have anything else set up on schedule other than the Spybot scan.
If this test sheduled scan completes OK, then re-enable AVG and repeat the exercise (also please note time taken).
If that is also OK, and if Teatimer was disabled in the previous tests, then re-enable it (and again note the time taken).
Please post back results.

Yes Teatimer was disabled in the last manual scan and still is.
Will advise on the Scheduled runs as they finish.

So the last scan is 48mins. I noted ZLOB.Downloader.BS slowed as usual but Spybot stepped on to the next process after 20secs, not the 3 or 4min wait first experienced.
However, I rescheduled the times for Spybot to run (3 times) in Task Scheduler, I did not right clik and select Run. Thought it best to have it start some 4 or 5mins after I rescheduled. What came to light as I checked all the Task Scheduler tabs was the Settings tab - Stop the task if it runs for 1 hour 10mins.
This goes back 9 months when I had the max time taken over a week for each task. Added 5mins to each max time before the next task start time.
This explains why Spybot shut down. I suspect ZLOB.Downloader.BS was being being scanned at the Stop task time, which is why it hung for 4 or 5 mins before finishing and shutting down.
I will now reschedule the Spybot scan for 2155hrs and AVG at 2255hrs allowing about 13mins between the two. I shall post that result tomorrow 1000GMT
Thanks

AVG ran at 2255.
Is this all ok now?
Thanks
Galceran
Is this all ok now?
Looks OK to me, and no doubt you are happy to see it working as it should.
You might want to increase the gap a bit more to play safe (scan could extend with extra temporary files) and review from time to time if the rate of new nasties continues to ramp up like it has recently. Hopefully version 2 will provide some relief.
I think we can mark this one solved.

Fine. I will increase the gap between Spybot and AVG and watch it.
Thanks for your patience and very helpful advice which solved the problem
