No possibility to remove Zlob.ZipCodec via Spybot

Thanks for the update! It works for me!!!

Just in case anyone is still waiting for a solution to the Zlob issue via forum updates and hasn't seen already, there has been a solution created on the Spybot home page, scrolling to the bottom under "News" - there's a small file to download that patches the error. I just downloaded it, ran a new scan, and it completed without any hangups! Hallelujah! Best of luck to everyone - hope it works, or has worked, for you as well

I have followed the above directions, and have not found the file patch for this problem described.
Do you have to be a subscriber to the paid edition in order to access this?
If not, would be grateful for more detailed instructions to get rid of this damn issue once and for all. Thanks.

Fix for System Scan freeze on Zlob.ZipCodec

March 22nd, 2016Many users have recently been affected by a feature in the Spybot program that caused the scanner to freeze on the final file of the scan, and the “Settings” button in the Start Center to become unresponsive.
We are happy to announce that we now have a solution for this issue. If you have experienced this issue and have not been sent this fix, please download and run this small installer.
The installer will replace the file we found was causing the issue.
More information on this can be found here.

Best regards.
