Spybot Home crashed during system cleanup while "Fixing Selected Problems"

I did a full scan of my entire system. Spybot Home found quite a lot of stuff. However, when I attempted to "fix problems" it took an unusual amount of time and then crashed, forcing me to end the process. I attached a screenshot for reference.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Try not scanning for tracks,then fixing.
Open Spybot start center,checkmark Advanced User Mode.Click Settings(say yes to the UAC prompt,if applicable),then the categories tab.Somewhere within the window underneath Malware Detection,rightclick and select Spyware Scan Only,then click Apply and OK.

That's just to cut down on some of the stuff being found for now,to see if the scan will complete without getting 'Not Responding'.You can turn tracks back on afterwards,if you like. :)

The scanning completed just fine, it crashed while trying to delete the found items. Don't I want to continue check for malware?

Sorry,I meant to say "see if the fixing would complete",not the scan. :)

Selecting "Spyware Scan Only" will let Spybot continue to search for malware.
Taking tracks off for the time being will cut down on the number of items being found after a scan,which will cut down on the number of items being fixed,which might allow the fixing to complete,since the "Not Responding" message might be happening if there is a lot of things to fix.Tracks aren't malware,so it's ok to not scan for them during one scan to see if it will complete,it will do no harm,and I can help you set Spybot to look for them again afterwards.This one scan is just a test,to kind of try to see what might be happening,as it were.

Okay cool. Sorry for the confusion. I tried it this morning and it seemed to work. It might just have been moody. I'll let you know if I have any other problems. Thanks!!
 
Hello Zenobia,

I was going through this thread since I´m having the same problem...I followe dthe steps you mentioned above, but nothing happened, my system still freezes when I try to clean the detections (26 in total high level of threat), and after a while I get the following error message

"Failed to set data for ´Spybot-S&D Cleaning´"

Hpe you can help me

Thanks in advance
 
When you open Spybot S&D Start Center,what version of Spybot is listed in brackets at the top? :)
 
Zenobia,

Besides having the latest version updated, I run it with administrator privileges.

Hope you can help me with this since everytime I get more threats detected

Thanks :)
 
I've never seen the "Failed to set data for ´Spybot-S&D Cleaning" error before,either here or anywhere else,and can find no information on it.So I'm not sure on the error.
But on sdcleaner itself,this is in the help file:
sdhelp said:
The Cleaner module can remove malware where other approaches sometimes fail. On reboot it can clean using previous scan results eliminating the need to scan again. It can also use other cleaning mechanisms like the new WinLogon and Native Mode cleaners
Click to expand...
So from that and you saying that the 26 listed originally are high threat,I think it's possible that there might be some malware Spybot is stumbling on,and attempting to use the cleaner to remove it.

So,could you open Spybot start center,click Report Creator,then click Show Logs over to the right,scroll down and find a Checks.logfile with a date at the end of it where you know you got the error. :)
For an example,a checks logfile from yesterday would look like this:Checks.140725-1755.txt.
Double click the Checks logfile you've chosen,go to Edit,Select All,then right click somewhere in the document and select Copy,then paste it here.
 
Spybot crashing

I am having the same issue. Spybot goes into "not responding" mode when I try to :fix selected problems" I am only ding a quick scan lasting around 20mins.
This renders Spybot useless. Using Spybot Search & Destroy + AV2.3. I have unticked both the Fixed and Optical drives under the "scan with different options" box.
Suggestions will be appreciated.
 
Did you set up the quick scan through the categories tab?If so,which one did you select? :)
Under scan with different options,do you have two drives listed under Fixed?
 
Spybot crashing

Hi Zenobia and thanks for your response. You will realise I am a novice at this so I will appreciate your patience.
I do not see a categories tab.
I click on the System Scan icon, which starts a scan immediately. I have to stop that scan in order to get to "scan with different options" in the drop-down box attached to Stop Scan.
I then have two options, Fixed C drive or Optical D drive. I have selected neither of them.
thanks,
Sevenoh
 
You're welcome. :)
Ok,the categories tab is in Spybot's Settings,I was after seeing if you had set up anything for the Spybot scan to run quicker there.No need to look at it at the moment.
You probably should keep your C:\ drive selected when you scan since it's your main drive,but you could just leave the optical drive unchecked.

How about you post a Checks logfile?
Please open Spybot start center,click Report Creator,then click Show Logs over to the right,scroll down and find a Checks.logfile with a recent date roughly around the time the fixing has been freezing.
For an example,a checks logfile from a few days ago would look like this:Checks.140725-1755.txt.
Double click the Checks logfile you've chosen,go to Edit,Select All,then right click somewhere in the document and select Copy,then paste it here.
