• 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.

I'm running WinXP4, wih Avira PSS, CounterSpy4, and Defender disabled. Spybot (latest downloads) reported:

Error during check!: Please wait scanning download directories (Access violation at address 00713C1A in module 'SpybotSD.exe'. Read of address FFFFFFFF) (Status)

What happened? And should I be worried?

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with your download directory/directories.
At the end of the Spybot scan download directories are also scanned.
Please have a look at your download directory/directories and try to disable it/them.

You can do that this way:
Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
Now select 'Settings' - 'Directories' from the navigation bar on the left.
Then highlight your directory/directories by clicking on it/them.
Then make a rightclick on it/them and choose 'Remove the selected directory from the list'.
This should help to get the scan to work.

Best regards

Probably fixed

That seems to have been the issue... but not because there was a problem in the download folder. Turns out that I didn't have a downloads folder defined in Spybot. I specified it and ran the app again, and no error.
That could be a bug in your app (reporting an error if no downloads folder has been set).

Then again, could be my computer.

Thanks!
