    HI

    Can anyone help me with this problem? Recently, my spybot v1.3 has come up with an "error during check" message after checking about 18,000 of
    the 21,000+ objects in its database. I uninstalled the program, searched and
    removed all traces of program, restarted my computer, and downloaded
    v1.3 again from an official mirror site different from before, and ran a new scan, and error message appeared again. It seems to find some adware along with the error message, but I don't know if it is performing a full scan or not!
    Any suggestions?

    Hi russ11. :)

    Welcome to Wilders.

    Is that the entire error message?

    If not, it would be helpful if u could post the complete error alert.

    Hi Snowbound,
    Yes, essentially this is the entire message, with I think a translation into German
    directly below it. Not sure how to take a snapshot of the scan result window and post it, but perhaps you could guide me through that process if you would like to see it.

    Regards,
    Russ

    russ11, do you have Spybot S&D set to check for updates automatically upon startup of programme?

    Cheers,
    Brad.

    Hey Russ,

    Is it similar or identical to the below example ?

    Error During Check!
    Xabot (Ungultiger Datentyp fur")


    If so....Please take a look at the below thread for a possible resolution.

    Hi everyone,
    A big thank you to all who posted replies to my problem. The fix that you directed me to on MajorGeeks site did the trick, and Spybot is running properly again. This is undoubtedly the best, most helpful, (and friendliest) forum on the web! Thanks again
    for your expert advice.

    Regards,
    Russ
