Error Message At Startup

[razzell2]

all of a sudden im getting this error message when i try and start my spybot program.
its in german.
this is what is says:
Listindex Uberschreitit das maximum (17)

then, if i close that out and try to run spybot, it scans for about 5 seconds and says 0 problems found.

but we all know it takes several minutes to do a complete scan.

as far as i can tell this all began after i ran my last update, and installed the update, whatever it was.

can anyone tell me whats up? should i uninstall the program and reinstall it?

i appreciate anyone who can help me out, who may have had this problem.

thanks

Re: Listenindex überschreitet das Maximum (17) or List index exceeds the maximum (17) in English.

The problem was cause by updates that were incompatible Spybot-S&D 1.3. Although those updates have been replaced the problem persists because Spybot-S&D 1.3 gets the above message when attempting to load those updates.

Unless you are running Windows 95 you should upgrade to Spybot-S&D 1.4. If you are running Windows 95 do not attempt upgrading to Spybot-S&D 1.4 (there is an alternative – see #2 below).

1. To upgrading to Spybot 1.4. There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:
   • Mirror Selection – The home of Spybot–S&D!
     http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
   
   Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.3:
   • FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
     How to uninstall?
     http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/27.html
   Install Spybot-S&D 1.4:
   • Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
   • Do not change the default installation path of:
     • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
   • Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.
   
   
   
2. For people running Spybot-S&D 1.3 on Windows 95 who can not upgrade to Spybot-S&D 1.4, I suggest that you try manually updating the detection rules as follows:
   
   • Go to the following WEB page:
     
     • Downloads – The home of Spybot-S&D!
       http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
   • Download and execute the following item:
     
     • Detection updates 2006-12-08 - product description
       md5: 7F2D8F54888A3840EC53E2B2A2F1BF67
       
       This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.
       
     • Download
   
   It appears that those updates were modified since the original release of the updates on 2006-12-08 and should fix the problems according to this post by PepiMK in "Listenindex uberschreitet das Maximum (17)":

     Update: Updates have been replaced with a version that should run under Spybot-S&D 1.3 without this problem. Still, I'll repeat that we urgently recommend upgrading

********************

Note: If you upgrade Spybot-S&D 1.4 and use TeaTimer be aware of the following:

There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:

1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

   • Uncheck the following:
     • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
   
   
   
3. There is also a beta test version of TeaTimer available that overcomes this problem.
