User abort without...abort?

[Juggernaut1063]

I've had no problems ever running S&D, but today it goes just a little bit into the check before saying 'User abort: scan was not completed successfully'.

Thing is, I didn't touch it.

What's up?

The problem has been reported several times before. I don't really think that anyone has quite figured out the exact cause of the problem. However, uninstalling Spybot-S&D and using this very small fix from the following WEB page before reinstalling appears to correct the problem in most cases:

I have no idea how to use that fix you gave me.

Then again I'm not the most savvy person around.

Nevermind! I got it. Thanks!

1. Download this very small fix (remove-spybotsd-settings.reg).
2. Double click on the remove-spybotsd-settings.reg file.
3. Answer "Yes" then "OK" to the messages received.

1.5.1

I know this is an old thread but I was having this problem with 1.5.1.15.

Just letting people know the above fix also works with this newer version.

I had 1.4 on this machine so some older files/entries were possibly left behind.
