    Hello teri22ns,

    I am not familiar with that program other than the results of a Google search.

It showed the same number listed in other posts in this forum (Firefox cookie issue?) I run Windows 10, and have the current Spybot Home paid edition.
    As the fix for Spybot did work to resolve the original scan issue I don't know why another problem started. This happened after you'd installed and run the other program?

    Default My scans don't end either?

    I am having the same problem, I run Spybot 2.5 it does a scan and gets to 100% and keeps running. It keeps starting over and running through every file. I downloaded the install program and ran that, but it is still the same. Is there anything else I can try?

    Default Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 64-bit Spybot Version 2.5.42.0 Malware Scanner 2.5.42.181

I have been searching my registry to see if I can find it but no luck there yet and I am worried that it still might be on my system since spybot just hangs up at Zlob and I have stop the scan and close the window in order to stop the scan.
    this is happening to me also; I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 64-bit and Spybot Version 2.5.42.0 Malware Scanner 2.5.42.181
    the System Scan stalls at "Product: Zlob.ZipCodec downloaded files..."; Spybot Version 2.5.42.0 Malware Scanner 2.5.42.181; when I choose "Stop scan" it gives "Status: Scan stopped." but when I try to close the pane, it gives the message "A scan is currently in progress!" "Do you really want to cancel it and close Spybot" and I choose "Yes"

    Hello TomRioux,

    Have you tried this fix: https://www.safer-networking.org/faq...zlob-zipcodec/

    Spybot’s system scan freezes at Zlob.ZipCodec
    This problem was caused by a minor issue in the Spybot program. We are now providing a small installer that will correct this issue on your PC.

    Symptoms:

    • The scan proceeds as normal, but will stop progressing at Zlob.ZipCodec and won’t appear to finish.
    • The “Settings” button in the Start Center is unresponsive when clicked.

    Fix/Solution:

    • If you are experiencing this issue, simply download and run this small installer. This installer replaces a file that was identified to cause the issue.

      Best regards.

    I purchased spybot yesterday, July 15, 2017. Spent 14 hours whitelisting (would have been nice to know I wouldn't be able to use the computer for 14 hours) and today I updated, brought immunizations up to date and started a full scan.

    Yes, it did a scan, started another scan and is stuck at 4.9%. I see the information above that there is a fix. Apparently it has been necessary to apply a fix for a considerable amount of time. Why should I apply a fix? Why haven't you fixed it?

    So is it a fact that you haven't so I will have to apply the fix? Lovely. Thanks, sort of. I remember when spybot actually ran all those years ago and for free (and I did donate).
