I have run Spybot for years , I am now in a situation where it will not run. It starts up fine , updates fine , but during the security check it crashes after about 20,000 items are processed. I can find no log Checks.txt or any trace of where it crashed.
Windows XP SP3 , run full scan of using Symantect AV - clean , Run Trend Micro Analysis - clean . Used msconfig disabled all but Microsoft Services and tried running a new install of Spybot. Still fails .
I do not run system restore.

I moved your topic from the Spybot forum and merged it with this one as apparently a DDS log is zipped and attached

Forums can be confusing but please re-read the FAQ, start a new topic here in this Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) and "copy/paste" the DDS.txt log into it. :)
Best regards.
