    Default Spybot - S&D Stalls at Finish

    When I run Spybot - S&D, it completes the scan and stalls. I cannot click on the red x in the corner to close it. The only way I can close it is to use Task Manager. Should I uninstall and reinstall Spybot or is it something that I am or am not doing?

    During the running of a Spybot scan ("Check for problems") there is a status bar in the lower left hand corner of the "Search & Destroy screen":
    • Running bot-check(xxxxx/yyyyy:zzzzzz).
    • xx problems found (mm:ss).
    • etc.

    What does that status bar say when "it completes the scan and stalls"?

    Are you getting a "Congratulations!: No immediate threats were found. ()" message or some other indication that scan completed?

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
