Problem solved!!!!!!!!!!
Finally got Spybot working again. Since I had already removed Spybot from my system (I also cleaned up the registry fragments using CCleaner), I downloaded and did a clean new install. Went through all the updates and then did a full system scan with nothing omitted from the scan, in normal mode, and my AV (Avast) running. The scan finished at a blazing 15 minutes, even better than my old Spybot. I'm thinking that I've had it for a few years and have always let the program update itself through the built in update feature. Somehow that large program update a few weeks ago apparantly didn't take and I ended up with a corrupt version. Since so many others are experiencing the same thing, I suggest they do the same and it should come back for them too. I never would have given it another chance if it hadn't been for the persistance and loyalty of the posters for their program. To them I tip my hat!!!!!!!!!!
