    Default Invalid argument to date encode

    Spybot S&D 1.6.2.46 running on an old Dell LatitudeCPX Laptop with win2ksp4 appears to startup and do a scan just fine.

    It found 50 problems over in 9 or so areas (all designated "browser".)

    But when I hit fix problems (after clicking "yes" to delete) I get an "Invalid argument to date encode" error.

    I get the same error when saving log files or report files or saving either to clipboard.

    Am I doing something wrong here?

    Here is the HijackThis log:

    Hi

    Did you notice this:
    Note:
    When the infected computer in question is a company machine in the workplace, and you are an employee.

    The intention of this forum is not to replace a company's IT department, nor can we anticipate alterations or configurations that may have been made to a business machine, or how it will interact with the tools commonly used in the removal of malware.

    More than one machine could be at stake, possibly even the server. If sensitive material has been compromised by an infection, the company could be held liable.

    To prevent any possible loss or corruption of company information, please inform your IT department or Supervisor when a workplace computer has been infected, immediately.

    Thanks for your understanding.
