Hi all,
for a few weeks, Spybot is not able to make a full scan. During the scanning, suddenly Spybot stops its activity, resp. Spybot turns off itself. Where could be the problem. I am using Comodo internet security, but during scan by Spybot, I disable Comodo firewall and antivirus. Comodo and Spybot are running together for more than one year, problem is only a few weeks old. Could somene help?
Thanks

Hello,

Please run a scan in safe mode:

That should fix it.

It should also help to deactivate the scanning for usage tracks and Cookies.
Please run Spybot-S&D and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode". Now select "Settings" --> "File Sets" in the navigation bar on the left. The checkboxes in front of "Usage tracking, Beta.uti, NewTracks.uti and Tracks.uti" have to be unticked if you do not want to find usage tracks anymore. For excluding Cookies from the search deactivate the checkbox in front of Cookies.sbi.
