debug results
Okay, here's what I've tried and (haven't) found out:
Run SpyBot (SSD). Result: Crash*
Re-start (SSD) Result: OK
Disable Auto-Updates
Close SSD
Reboot
Open SSD
Result: Crash*
Re-Start SSD. Result: OK
Change Auto-Start time from 5 minutes to default 3.
Reboot
Run SSD. Result: OK
Reboot
Run SSD. Result: Crash!??*
Re-Start SSD. Result: OK
Disable Auto-Start
Reboot
Run SSD. Result: OK
Reboot
Run SSD. Result: Crash! (CTD)
Re-Start SSD. Result: OK
* These crashes were caught by Visual Studio Debugger and returned this error: Unhandled exception at 0x00501941 in SpybotSD.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xfffffffc. (The CTD was obviously not handled.)
Conclusion: It doesn't follow any pattern; therefore, it may be something wrong with the OS or conflicting apps, but no new apps were installed prior to crashes. I believe it started happening when SpyBot first gave you the option to clean up files.
I hope this helps!
