SD is scanning very slowly
I'm finding SD to be scanning really slow.
It was getting hung up at "Baciami", and other dialers, so I had it ignore all dialers.
Now the hang has simply moved to "2020".
It is not a permenant hang, just continuous stalling.
I've cleaned the fan ports, and installed the new beta v. 1.5.1.18
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Baciami is a rootkit.
Spybot-S&D is able to find rootkits but sometimes it is difficult to locate them because there are some hidden files.
To fix this problem there will be some innovations soon. But as a workaround you try another tool.
Sophos also has a great freeware tool for rootkits:
Gmer is also a good tool against rootkits:
If you have no hidden files please delete your temporary files and try a scan in safe mode.

Hi I am having a problem with Spybot, I just updated to the newer version and the scanning part seems to be stuck at 29,723 or so. It won't get past that, I let it sit for 3 mins no movement. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you.

Hello,
Please delete the contents of your Windows temp folder.
You can also try the following:
- select "Settings" --> "Settings" in the navigation bar on the left and untick the checkbox in front of "display confirmation dialogs"
- exit Spybot-S&D so the settings are saved
- run Spybot-S&D and "Check for problems" again
Expect it to run slowly, it appears to hang. Please be patient - it should clear with the problems fixed.
If it still doesn't work please select "Settings" --> "Settings" from the toolbar on the left. In the section "Main settings" please untick the checkbox in front of "Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks".
Best regards
