Spybot hangs

[Repairman41]

Hi,
I have been successfully using the free version of Spybot for years until recently that is when I upgraded to W10.
My system, including Spybot, is up todate.
Spybot Version is: 2.4.40.0 and start center 2.4.40.130.
A system scan is complete but hangs with the following references:

4EZAF2AC

zlob.zip condec

What is required to complete the scan please.

Hello Repairman41,

From this FAQ: https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/scan-freezes-zlob-zipcodec/

Spybot’s system scan freezes at Zlob.ZipCodec

"This problem was caused by a minor issue in the Spybot program. We are now providing a small installer that will correct this issue on your PC.
Symptoms:
– The scan proceeds as normal, but will stop progressing at Zlob.ZipCodec and won’t appear to finish.
– The “Settings” button in the Start Center is unresponsive when clicked.
Fix/Solution:
If you are experiencing this issue, simply download and run this small installer (https://www.safer-networking.org/files/spybotsd2-install-iefreezefix.exe).
This installer replaces a file that was identified to cause the issue."

Hope that helps. :)
