Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 I've just downloaded,installed and run Spybot S & D.Every time I run it,it gets around halfway through the bot search and.....stops!! :( The only way I can recover is to ctrl,alt,delete and end task.I've even run it in safe mode but it's just the same.Any ideas anybody??OS is XP Pro.Maybe there is a bot or dialer that is resisting the search?Cheers.Shirl.

mark2 Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 How long have you allowed it to run Shirl ?Sometimes it seems to stop but is still running, can you hear anything writing to the HD? What does the CPU reading in task manager say ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Do you have adaware Shirl ?Maybe run that, then try spybot again.I wonder if somehow it hasn't updated, looking at the figures for your bot check I have 11227 being checked for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
