Hi, I hope you can help, I have un-installed and re-installed spybot, have run the re-set settings, the miniremoval_coolwebsearch_smartkiller and the registration entries, but it is still crashing the system everytime I run a scan.

Does anybody know of any conflicts or bugs, as I have not been able to complete a spybot scan for a month. I use Panda protection as well.

Any clues/help will be much appreciated. :)
 
Can you discribe what you mean by the "system crashes"? Are you getting any messages? Is the system restarting, powering down, etc.?

Hi, I un-installed the older version then installed the latest version today, but it still crashes, it is spybotsd 1.5.1.15 I then updated the updates ran the immunize which was fine, ran the check problems and crashed around smitfraud-c.
 
crashing with SpyBot

Yup, I have exactly the same problem. My system crashes - shuts down - half way through the scan at or about 54000/109775 Vario Anti virus.
IT WAS ALSO VERY SLOW TO START.
Tried the beta u/g which speeded up the start to normal but still shut down my computer at mid scan. I have uninstalled SB until a proper fix can be found - pity!!
 
Hello,

Please try the following:
Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Advanced Mode" and go to "Settings" -> "Ignore products".
There tick the checkbox in front of MalwareC.sbi and Malware.sbi .
Please try if the scan works now.

Best regards
