No possibility to remove Zlob.ZipCodec via Spybot

different verse, SAME as the first

yep, its hung up on that damned trojan.
obv not alone in hoping for help from the staff.
 
I have the same problem. Has there been official confirmation at least that the hangup indicates that the malware is present in our systems? Or is it reasonable to assume that? I have run malwarebytes and avast boot-time scan and found nothing. I think this is the most important thing we need to settle, considering the issue has been going on for months without resolution.
 
Yep, same problem - but not sure we are inifected with this malware?

I've posted a few times, seems no response from Spybot - as we have all found out. It's unclear to me if we are actually infected as I show no signs of any issues - other than Spybot hangs up - as we have all seen. It's been months now since the first posts on this so there is no answer coming from Spybot - but let's keep posting, at least checking for some solution - but don't hold your breathe.
 
Hello,

The scan is freezing on Zlob and that's the issue they are trying to replicate and resolve.

Freezing does not indicate a Zlob infection is present on the computers.

Best regards.
 
spybot paid is hung on zlob.zipcodec, now my surface is useless filled with adware

I too have paid spybot stuck on zlob.zipcodec.
My two month old surface is an expensive paperweight until this gets fixed. It may not be zlob causing this but I have adware that is making my surface unusable. Until spybot can complete I don't see how to get rid of the adware. DNS unlocker. I need browser based software to work and cannot get by on the iPad I am using to post this. It has been three days now.

Hopefully the pro's at Spybot can figure out how to get this problem solved. Please notify me when you can remove this from my computer. Thanks

Thank you for this. Can't say I'm pleased with the how long it's taking to solve this, but I've been using spybot for nearly a decade and I'm not about to give it up yet. Good luck to the team.
 
Solution now available

Just in case anyone is still waiting for a solution to the Zlob issue via forum updates and hasn't seen already, there has been a solution created on the Spybot home page, scrolling to the bottom under "News" - there's a small file to download that patches the error. I just downloaded it, ran a new scan, and it completed without any hangups! Hallelujah! Best of luck to everyone - hope it works, or has worked, for you as well :)

I have followed the above directions, and have not found the file patch for this problem described.
Do you have to be a subscriber to the paid edition in order to access this?
If not, would be grateful for more detailed instructions to get rid of this damn issue once and for all. Thanks.
 
Hello toddfarmsga,

Did you try the fix?

https://www.safer-networking.org/2016/fix-system-scan-freeze-zlob-zipcodec/

Fix for System Scan freeze on Zlob.ZipCodec

March 22nd, 2016Many users have recently been affected by a feature in the Spybot program that caused the scanner to freeze on the final file of the scan, and the “Settings” button in the Start Center to become unresponsive.
We are happy to announce that we now have a solution for this issue. If you have experienced this issue and have not been sent this fix, please download and run this small installer.
The installer will replace the file we found was causing the issue.
More information on this can be found here.

Best regards. :)
