    Default No dialog for system scan

    Hello, I just installed the new Spybot. The first time I ran it, I got a progress dialog for the full system scan. It came up with 37 malware items identified. After that I couldn't work out what Spybot had actually done with them other than identifying them, so I tried to run another scan. I got an System Scan icon on my taskbar but no window opened, even when I clicked on the icon. I tried enabling the progress dialog in the Spybot settings but it didn't make any difference. Please help! Thanks.

    Hello,

    To remove the found threats you need to click on ‘Fix selected’.
    The icon in the taskbar will show more options when you rightclick on it.
    For more informations on how to use the new version Spybot 2 please take also a look at our First Steps Tutorial.

    Hello Sandra,

    thanks for your reply.

    I did not see any options available to select after the scan was finished. That's why I tried to repeat the scan. The second time, the dialog window for the system scan did not appear. Right clicking on the icon in the taskbar does indeed bring up the scan options, but again, nothing appears to happen when I select the System Scan option from that menu.

    Regards, Michael.

    Hello,

    Are you sure the Scan is not in your taskbar at the bottom?
    Do you have a screenshot of your desktop when you scan?
    Did you also check the taskmanager if the SDScan is running?

    Hello Sandra,

    please find attached screenshot. According to task manager, the scan is running, and there is a scan icon on the taskbar, but I am unable to get a dialog box, even though I have enabled the progress dialog in SB setting.

    Regards, Michael.

    Hello,

    The scanner is in your taskbar, you just need to bring it at top again.
    Please close the Start Center.
    Then tick on the second item in the taskbar from the right.
    Your scanner should be up now.

    Best regards

    Hello,

    I'm afraid clicking on the System Scan icon does not bring up any window, even when the Start Centre is closed.

    Regards, Michael.

    Yes, that's the one. I get the menu by right-clicking, and some of the menu options do bring up a window, but not the 'Scan Complete System' option.

    Hello,

    And if you go to the taskmanager and click on "System Scan" and then on "Switch to"?

    So you did open the scan via the system tray icon?
    Does the same happen if you start it through the Start Center?

    Best regards
