Mine from Major Geeks works fine too. There are lots of posts about it in
the Lavasoft forums.

Tried downloading from 2 different places including MajorGeeks & both
did the same thing... Went back to 1.03 as well... Let us know if you
hear any reason as to why. Gimpy

that isn't the problem, have run checkdisk with full scans,
it is a hot topic on the Lavasoft forums. They added some
new scan engine changes and that is where it seems to be
getting hung up.

There may be some interaction with installed software or
user settings, which would explain the randomness of the
failure, but all failures being basically the same at the
same point.

Downloaded the new version and scanned all drives without a
problem. It seemed to pause in some folders and with DLLs
but there was still hard drive activity as shown by the
light. The file count resumed within a few seconds.
Partitions scanned 4, files scanned 193995 detections as
expected, 20 recent file used lists, all critical items
removed with previous versions.

I downloaded the fixed 1.04 from MajorGeeks this morning
also. It ran fine on my XP machine so I also downloaded
(updated from 1.03) it to the old 433 Celeron running 98 and
that also worked just fine.

The site works for me. Although it is pretty funny because it says my
version of Spy Sweeper is up-to-date and offers me the chance of
upgrading. It's funny because this machine runs Linux, I looked at the
site with Mozilla 1.7, and naturally I'm not running Spy Sweeper on
Linux!

If you can't get to the site, you might want to check your hosts files
to make sure nothing is in there except 127.0.0.1 (and anything you put
there yourself).
