Scan sort of stuck on Virtumonde.dll

- Start date
I haven't done a scan yet... but I will this evening.
Have you cleared the cache, temp. files, and cookies from your browsers? Have you defragmented your drive lately?
Also, were there any entries detected?

Not recently. I'll do that and see what happens. FYI, this is an old W2k station that is only used to evaluate software. It's image of C:, last created 2 years ago, is restored after each evaluation is completed.
I'm still waiting for this scan to complete (3 hours now). Nothing has been found so far. Previous scans always completed normally with nothing found.

Alright, first do that first.
What I was thinking was to ignore the "entry" in Spybot. Thus, the scan will continue. If Virtuemonde was not detected on the computer, then I guessing that one ignore entry will do.
OK. I've cleared all browser caches and ALL user temp folders. Same problem.
The scan reaches around 13400 and then slows to a crawl.
If that won't do...
Run Spybot-SD in ADVANCED MODE>SETTINGS>IGNORE PRODUCTS. Find the "Virtuemonde.dll" entry and tick it. Spybot will not detect it in future scans. See if this resolves it.

Well clarify which OS this problem is occurring on. Did you read my instructions in the previous post?

The scan for Virtumonde.dll does seem to take a significant portion of the overall scan time. Spybot 1.6, being beta tested now, greatly reduces the overall scan time and should help relieve the problem with the scan for Virtumonde.dll.

The observation was made on my system running Spybot 1.5.2.20 and Spybot 1.6 beta 1. So it is not " ... only on W2k".

Hey,
Applied the latest updates to 1.5.2 and whenever it gets to the virtumonde section of the scan it SLOWS to a crawl or seems to stop altogether. I know that I can "ignore" that scan on the list since I've never had a virtumonde problem pop up, but I would rather get a full and complete scan everytime.
Any solutions?

I have the same problem, running v6 on win2k. Scan slows riiiiiight down on virtumonde, taking about 30 minutes before continuing. I'm reluctant to remove V'monde from the scan. Seems pointless to scan except for the one infection that seems to cause most difficulty.
Anyone had any success solving this?

I run Spybot 1.5.2.0 as well and I've got this trouble too, only my scan takes literally HOURS to clear the Virtumonde.dll section of the scan! In the end I gave up. Anyone know of any way to get the damned thing working faster? As far as I can tell it's been okay up until the last week or so.
