Sorry if this does not mean much, but after snooping around the forums and stumbling onto this post, I can say from my experience that clearing the cache for Internet Explorer resulted in a completed scan (instead of being stuck on the Zlob item). Let me know if anything else is needed, but thanks for pointing out this fix that worked for me!
I don't use internet explorer, I have NEVER used internet explorer on the laptop, heck, the laptop doesn't even HAVE internet explorer installed, it has Microsoft Edge - so I'm at a loss to see how the issue can be related to that...
That said, I've flushed the cache there and am running Spybot again - let's see what happens ..
Hmmm, no surprise there - stops at exactly the same point.
Product : Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files.

Internet Explorer 11 comes with Windows 10. You cannot uninstall Internet Explorer since Internet Explorer is a Windows feature, but you can turn it on and off.
What this proves is that you never launched IE, nothing more I'm afraid :)
There's tons of software that uses IE internally to display web content (without its button and menu bars etc.), where you'll never notice that they use the IE that's installed on your computer.
There's probably even more software that uses the invisible part that offers easy Internet connections, e.g. used by many apps that simply check for updates in the background.
And finally, there's tons of security software that access and modify the IE cache.
Which means that even if you did not launch IE, it probably has been used a lot. Check our "BrowserCI" tool (on the Dowloads section here on the forum) to see what has been accessed through IE on your computer.
