Spybot hangs after loading

[Dinoguy1000]

After the loading bar of Spybot fills out, it hangs and the main program window does not appear, regardless of how long it runs. This problem persists even after attempting to reinstall, although as I recall, it only occurs after installing the latest version of TeaTimer (my memory is a bit hazy, since it has been some months since I attempted to reinstall and update again).

If Spybot is currently installed,you could trying booting into safe mode,then try running Spybot.
Safe Mode:

Please let me know how it goes.

I just tried running it in safe mode, and observed the same behavior. Should I reinstall Spybot again and more carefully keep track of which update seems to cause this behavior?

[Zenobia]

Yes,you could try that if you like.

Actually, I tried the methods suggested in that post before posting here. I'm personally doubtful it's some type of badware preventing Spybot from running, because the loading bar does come up, but then, badware acts awfully weird sometimes...

I'll try reinstalling and see if I can identify the exact problematic update when I get home, then.

Okay.

Hmm... Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to this yesterday, but I *should* be able to do it by the end of the week (famous last words =P ).

Sure,no hurry.

All right, I tried reinstalling 1.6.2, but got the same hang, so I uninstalled it and went back to 1.6.0 (a version that had previously worked for me), but it stalled on me again. Given that, I'm not sure if it would be worth trying even older versions or not.

What operating system do you have?
