Just installed 1.5.2, still suffering from same problem

I just tried this (copied right out of the box in properties):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /verbose

Same error msg.
 
What can you suggest now,......

I changed the path in the shortcut,.....The check stops with the following:
Running bot-checkb[24298/112327: CoolWWWSearch;$EABB6094]

?? any suggestions now? I uninstalled SB and reinstalled it and find it still stalls,........I've also since installed AVAST, MALWAREBYTES, AVG, CWSHREDDER and have SPYBLASTER to compensate for the loss of SB. Also I installed HiJACKTHIS and Kaspersky,...all show no files exept Kaspersky,..which shows 3 infected files by a Trojan,....

It was mentioned earlier in a thread to remove CoolWWWSearch from the check list,...can someone walk me through how to do this,...I guess CWShredder can cover the loss of SB on CoolWWWSearch,...although I found it to be he most reliable and effective,....(still want to know why it can't work now though).....

Still looking for help,....
 
I'm an expert at that!! :eek:

Run Spybot in "Advanced Mode" and go to "Settings" -> "Ignore products". There mark the checkbox in front Coolwwwsearch or whatever you want to skip over.
 
It's not letting me edit, so here's the PS.

PS-I marked both of the Coolwwwsearch boxes that had nothing else with them; I don't know which one is the actual culprit.
 
thank you critters,..

Thank you very much critters,....86 checks later SB should ignore anything with CoolWWWSearch,..:2thumb: .however,...this is only the symptoms,...

Anybody know what is causing this problem,...seems to be hitting quite a few users who downloaded the latest version,..?

VERY good point... My computer has an old version, which doesn't hangup. My sister's has the new version that does, BUT hers, as previously mentioned, was royally infested with vermin.
 
getting discouraged,..

ok,...I 'ignored' coolwwwsearch on the scan check,..THEN the scans began freezing again,...I checked the products off on the next scan and it froze again ,.....

Below is my Hijackthis,....analysis,...can anyone help??!! Kasparsky to follow,...

First, I'm not sure that HijackThis logs should be included in this part of the forum. That aside as you can see from a header for a HT log from my PC, the OS details are the same, and my PC completes the SpybotSD scans without any problems.

I am using Spybot 1.5.2.20 with Resident Browser Helper and TeaTimer active, current update including beta files, AVG antivirus, ZA firewall.

Have you tried not having Windows Defender running when you do your Spybot Scan?

I have windows defender activated, and i can scan with spybot fine as well. idk why its not working for you guys, you could try doing the scans in safe mode. A really bad infection could be making spybot hang up.
 
Spybot hung up prior to the installation of Defender,...so I'm pretty sure that is not a factor,......The prior version ran just fine,..I didn't have problems until the newest version was downloaded.....mind you WE are not the only two having difficulties,....it seems there are quite a few who are experiencing this occurance,...

Previously a SPYBOT representative had mentioned in this thread that it may be some problem with the new version haven't heard anything from SPYBOT regarding that,...(anyone watching?) They all seemed to have gone away?,...............
 
NO HJT in this forum,.....

:oops: Sorry again,....I'm getting anxious I think and my impatience is getting the best of me,......probably a bit desperate too as noone from SB joining in,....! :sad:
 
Hello,

Previously a SPYBOT representative had mentioned in this thread that it may be some problem with the new version haven't heard anything from SPYBOT regarding that,...(anyone watching?) They all seemed to have gone away?,...............
spybotsandra posted yesterday, however let's address this:
all show no files exept Kaspersky,..which shows 3 infected files by a Trojan,....
Please follow the procedure in this link:
"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) so one of our helpers can take a look at the system. Skip the Spybot-S&D scan for now.

Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum where a helper will advise you when available.

Regards. :)

Edit: Apprantly you have two anti virus programs installed, Avast4 and Norton AntiVirus.

Norton alone is a resource hog, installed alongside another anti virus program and you have a problem. :lip:

Rule of thumb is one Firewall/one AV to avoid conflicts and loss of program efficiency.
