v1.6.2 will hang after stopping auto scan

Anyone else have this problem? I've tried a fresh install of v1.6.2 on a few different computers. I check the "Run check on program start" option and Spybot auto scans when it's run. But when I try to press the "Stop check" button it stops the scanning but hangs after that and the program gets stuck. Anyone else seen this bug? I don't upgrade to v1.6.2 on machines anymore due to this issue. I still use v1.6.0 and exclude the 1.6.2 from the updates.

Any fix for this? Is this a known bug? While I'm at it, a quicker cancel on the scan would be really nice. Sometimes it can take 10-20 seconds just to cancel the scan after pressing the stop button.

Any ideas?

Hello,

The scan could hang when the stop button was pressed in an automated scan. This was a little bug.

Please download this new SpybotSD.exe file as fix.

To use this file extract the downloaded archive into the main application folder (usually C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\).

Replace it with the files in your Spybot program folder. If the SpybotSD.exe is hidden, make it visible:

* Using Windows Explorer navagate to:
o C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
* In the Tools menu select Folder Options…
* In the Folder Options dialog select the View tab.
* Uncheck the following option:
o Hide protected operating system file (Recommended)
* Click the Apply button.
* Click the OK button.
* The files should now be displayed
