Meri051846,
Can you put SpybotSD into Advanced mode, (Mode>Advanced) then go to Tools then View Report, then view previous report. Look for the report file called Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log, where the date and time relate to the last scan that led to the program hanging, and open that report.
Can you cut and past the report that is shown on the screen and include it in a post back to this forum.
Also can you advise whether your scan includes usage tracking (goto settings>file sets. Near the bottom of the list is the boxes for usage tracking. If they are ticked please untick and retry a scan.
Can you also advise whether there are any folders listed in Settings>Directories. If there are, please remove them - highlight, right click and remove. Retry a scan.
When Spybot has finished its scan, what do you see on the screen. There should be a green tick with "Congratulations, no immediate threats were found". Do you see this. If you don't and there is anything else shown, particularly in red, can you be specific in reporting exactly what is shown on the screen. If the scan does not get this far, there should be something shown on the status bar at the bottom left of the spybot screen.
Finally, is your browser open when you are running the scan - if it is, please try a scan with it closed. Incidentally, what browser do you use, and do you have Spybot's Browser helper enabled and or Teatimer enabled. Look at Tools>Resident and report whether there are ticks in the two boxes.
Lastly, what AV software are you using?
