    FYI,I tried it and had to return to the old version. This new one looped in the scanning mode when asked to scan and store a log file. The straight scan worked fine, just the logged version. :confused:

    Hi 'dude,

    This new one looped in the scanning mode when asked to scan and store a log file.
    So far, no problems.

    Hi Charles!

    I tried it again with a new dl/install and the same results. I think my modus operandi plays to the weakness. I hide all the normal items by sending them to the ignore list so that nothing is found unless it's a new addition. With nothing found, it continuously loops looking for something until I stop it manually. Works well otherwise. That only happens when I press the Scan and Save Log button. No big deal so I think I'll keep it and work around that. It won't be a problem for most people, just those who like to ignore the items that have passed inspection before. A harmless bug I'm sure.

    Tried that and the results were as you say. There is a HijackThis thread at Spywareinfo and was thinking of posting this bug there. Would you like to do that since you're the one that found it?

    Regards - Charles
