Dusting out the fan intakes/exhaust worked!
Blowing out the dust in the intake and exhaust vents (using a rubber bulb as well as my own breath) did the trick (and there was quite a lot of the dust balls). My HP Pavilion notebook computer fans are running much more quietly now that 3-1/2 years of dust is cleared out. Thanks for the tip.
Rebooting and can't run spybot
opps, did it wrong sorry!
Spybot crashed at about 30%, SOLVED
On one of my machines Spybot (1.4) just crashed at about 30% . No error message, nothing in the logfiles.
Some research revealed that this happened when scanning for DyFuCa.InternetOptimizer. So I decided to skip this threat by putting a mark in front of it (in Malware.sbi). Now Spybot runs successfully until the very end.
Note: I am 100% sure that there are no traces of DyFuCa.InternetOptimizer on my machine.

I am having the same problem
My Bosses system hangs at vaious points during a scan. It is never the same spot. Sometimes it goes 1/3 of the way, the next time 1/2, another time it will go 75%, then another time back to 25%.
I have unloaded and reloaded the program numerous times and would like to know what is the problem here and why this keeps occurring.
Thank you,
Rich Stabler

I was wondering whether anyone else was having this problem or if it is just me, in which case any help would be appreciated.
I always try to keep my system clean and I'm 90% sure that I don't have any spyware on my system (but the fact that my PC crashes 1/3 of the way into a Spybot S&D scan has me slightly suspicious).
Thanks, Joey.
