    Default spybot hangs

    Hi

    Running spybot 2.5 on windows 10 it seems to hang (over 1 hour checking safe stuff)..

    Status: Scan progressing.
    Product: Eicar-AV-Test downloaded files...

    tried a re-install but get the same thing.

    assistance/suggestions welcome.

    Hello osborneuk,

    Which edition of Spybot do you have please: https://www.safer-networking.org/private/

    Does Spybot finish the scan or freeze?

    Best regards.

    Hi osborneuk,

    Sorry you are experiencing this issue, please see the FAQ: If Spybot freezes during a scan

    You didn't mention the scan freezing on Zlob but just in case: https://www.safer-networking.org/faq...zlob-zipcodec/

    If neither FAQ helps please open a support ticket.

    Best regards.
