    Hello,

    Same thing happens from Task Manager - no window.
    I ran the system scan from SB Start Center, not from the system tray. Selecting System Scan from the system tray also gives the same result.

    Hello,

    One other thing is you can rightclick on the "System Scan" in your taskbar,
    then a menu should come up where you can choose "Scan complete system".

    If this does not work please make a fresh system start and try it again.
    Maybe something was blocking it.

    If that does not help I would recommend a fresh installation of Spybot 2.

    Best regards

    Default System Scan not showing

    Hi,

    I know this is an old thread, but I was having this problem too which nothing worked, I re-installed the program with no such luck and I did all of the suggestions above. The only thing that I was able to do was in the Task Manager, right click on the System Scan for Spybot and select Maximize, this worked and I was able to do a system scan, but as soon as I minimized it again, you could not see it anymore. This is a quick work around for the people that are still having this problem.

    Do you have a screenshot of your desktop when you scan?
    Did you also check the taskmanager if the SDScan is running?

    i have actually been trying to get a new scan to run since 10 hours ago but nothing will appear after i give spybot permission to make changes on my computer. i tried watching task manager and a windows app for internet activity, but from the moment i isolated my computer from the internet (due to a possible evasion upload file being sent) i have no longer been able to run a system scan even though it acts like it is about to start. i have tried resetting all my setting in spybot to default. i removed the block on the internet and even tried a rootkit scan (which still works) and resetting most of the setting in windows to default. i even tried forcing spybot to update several times. (p.s. your proxi server blocks your updates as well).Windows 10 Home. please email me if you need more info
