    Default Spybot Diskdrive error.

    Hi this has been happening recently since I updated spybot. Basically about 80% into a scan spybot comes up with an error telling me there is no disk drive. However if i simply exit out of that error it continues to scan all the way to completion.

    Since I tend to worry i immediately scanned with my Avast AV, and also even did a malwarebytes scan, and nothing was found. My system is clean. Im not to worried about it as it seems to complete. But im not really sure whats going on here.

    Also I have no problems with my C drive. Ive only had this problem with spybot.

    Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    If the error message is “No disk in the drive”,then please see here:

    I've checked the microsoft site. The thing is that my drive is the C drive.Also I had no problem using spybot for years now. It wasnt until recently that this problem occurs.

    Also the error is within spybot. Windows isnt the one giving me the error.

    No other solutions for this problem? The solution you provided me with isnt helping. :(

    SpybotSD.exe - Do Disk
    There is no disk in the dirve. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1


    This happens when it has about 80% in the scan, and appears to be scanning Running bot-check (681417/828175: Win32 OnlineGames.ws2

    Once i just exit out of the spybot message it continues to scan regularly...

    No,I haven't found any other solutions.

    I do see there was an update from 2012-09-26 in Spybot and Win32.OnlineGames.ws2 was included in that.

    bitman stated a while back that there have been times that a mistake with the detections occasionally caused the same error:

    Though I haven't noticed anybody here recently posting about the same error,so that may be unlikely.

    Since C:\ is your main hard drive,what other drives are on your computer?

    Thank you.
    Team Spybot is usually around again Monday or so,so that's when a reply would likely be.I'll wait and see if spybotSandra sees this thread then,and if not,I'll flag somebody down.

    And its good to hear that im not the only one now. Not that I want anyone else to have it. Just makes me less worrysome.
