Spybot-S&D 1.6, beta 1

[Rosenfeld]

I think I may have found a problem with the English.chm help file.

Can someone please try to reproduce this:

Open Spybot-S&D, click on Help (in the menu bar), and select Help.

Once the help interface opens, click on the Search tab, enter something in the keyword field (I was trying "explorer"), and click on the "List Topics" button.

For me, on two separate XP SP3 systems, this results in a permanent Spybot hang (both the help interface and the program). Nothing ever appears in the topics list, the mouse pointer stays an hourglass, and Windows reports the program is not responding. I have to manually force it closed - after which I get one of those error report prompts.

On the same systems, this didn't happen with version 1.5.2.20.

Anyone else see this?

I can confirm this on XP SP3. Two event logs:

I've checked that the english.chm file is unblocked.
