I'm new to this forum so don't know if this has been covered before. I recently had serious problems with a number of trojans, viruses and spyware so uploaded spybot s&d. All went well and have now cleared out all major problems, yet when I do a scan of my system I get an error message which reads....#

Error during check - WinPup32 (Ungultiger Datentype Fur")

Any ideas what on earth this is and how can I get rid of it. Your help gratefully accepted.:scratch:
 
Please post a log of the error you are getting. To do that:
  • Run another scan.
  • When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
  • Then paste those results to a new post in this thread.
Also please indicate what Windows OS you are running.

Thanks

Unless you are running Windows 95, to get rid of the error, download and install Spybot-S&D 1.4.

There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.3:Install Spybot-S&D 1.4:
  • Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
  • Do not change the default installation path of:
    • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
  • Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.
Note: If you upgrade to Spybot-S&D 1.4 and use TeaTimer be aware of the following:
  • There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

    If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:

    1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:
      Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer
      http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=122

      There are (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:


    2. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
      • Uncheck the following:
        • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
