Just installed 1.5.2, still suffering from same problem

[critters]

I just tried this (copied right out of the box in properties):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /verbose

Same error msg.

[rcdes]

I changed the path in the shortcut,.....The check stops with the following:
Running bot-checkb[24298/112327: CoolWWWSearch;$EABB6094]

?? any suggestions now? I uninstalled SB and reinstalled it and find it still stalls,........I've also since installed AVAST, MALWAREBYTES, AVG, CWSHREDDER and have SPYBLASTER to compensate for the loss of SB. Also I installed HiJACKTHIS and Kaspersky,...all show no files exept Kaspersky,..which shows 3 infected files by a Trojan,....

It was mentioned earlier in a thread to remove CoolWWWSearch from the check list,...can someone walk me through how to do this,...I guess CWShredder can cover the loss of SB on CoolWWWSearch,...although I found it to be he most reliable and effective,....(still want to know why it can't work now though).....

Still looking for help,....

I'm an expert at that!!

Run Spybot in "Advanced Mode" and go to "Settings" -> "Ignore products". There mark the checkbox in front Coolwwwsearch or whatever you want to skip over.

It's not letting me edit, so here's the PS.

PS-I marked both of the Coolwwwsearch boxes that had nothing else with them; I don't know which one is the actual culprit.

Thank you very much critters,....86 checks later SB should ignore anything with CoolWWWSearch,.. .however,...this is only the symptoms,...

Anybody know what is causing this problem,...seems to be hitting quite a few users who downloaded the latest version,..?

VERY good point... My computer has an old version, which doesn't hangup. My sister's has the new version that does, BUT hers, as previously mentioned, was royally infested with vermin.

AH!!! Before the verbose, not before the slash!! Maybe that IS the ticket!! I can't try it now since I'm not at my sister's house, but I will.

ok,...I 'ignored' coolwwwsearch on the scan check,..THEN the scans began freezing again,...I checked the products off on the next scan and it froze again ,.....

Below is my Hijackthis,....analysis,...can anyone help??!! Kasparsky to follow,...

First, I'm not sure that HijackThis logs should be included in this part of the forum. That aside as you can see from a header for a HT log from my PC, the OS details are the same, and my PC completes the SpybotSD scans without any problems.

I am using Spybot 1.5.2.20 with Resident Browser Helper and TeaTimer active, current update including beta files, AVG antivirus, ZA firewall.

Have you tried not having Windows Defender running when you do your Spybot Scan?
