Spybot Search and Destroy Question

[Craftlady]

We are using SpyBot 1.4 version it works great we have XP on our systems.

ver 1.4 should work fine with XP.

If you are talking about the compatability mode setting in the properties tab on the file, it should be turned off completely.

Okay, I reinstalled it. It seems stuck at the same place...but as Task Manager shows it as still running, I guess I will leave it.

I didn't mess with nuthin' this time!

It's still stuck at the same number, though there is a 'flicker' that keeps going through it...I guess it has a lot of stuff to scan??

*sigh*

Here is a link. It goes to PCWorld downloads page for Spybot Search and Destroy

Any luck?

Spybot sometimes appears to hang like that, depends on what it's scanning.

I've never had it crash on me.

Hi, LH - well I disabled the Compatibility feature, and used the Help menu which said to disable Automation in the Advanced mode (it was already disabled).

WOOHOO!

I just checked and running in Advanced Mode it's at 46,000 and racing upwards!

Not hanging at 6129 any more (can you understand why that number is imprinted on my mind??? )

I won't breathe easy til the scan FINISHES...this was the strangest thing I have gone through.

Thanks everyone!

ETA: 68 items found and removed. YAAY! Thanks everyone.

I guess the key is to run it in Advanced mode...and disable the Compatibility function (right click on icon and you'll find it under Properties).
