Hi

Apologies for not posting this response from the Team Spybot earlier so others can benefit from the answer

We apologise for the inconvenience.

There are known issues with the Spybot Proxy...

Hi Tashi,

Just restarted, and the problem looked worse as the 'Security Center Service' also was shown as Stopped. I will submit a ticket and see what comes out of it.

Hi Tashi,

Just for completeness I have Stopped, Applied, and re-Started and Applied all 3 Services, and carried out the same procedure with the check boxes.
I will report if the problem...

Hi Tashi,

Sorry, I should have been explicit about the version, but I have been using Spybot so long that I forget how many variants there are now.

Yes, it is Spybot Free...

Recently about 50% of computer starts result in the Scanner Service not starting up despite the 'Active after every Reboot' being checked . The only way this is noticed is when the Spybot Proxy...

What I have done was to uninstall the Spybot I had installed, and after the re-start the "Post Windows 10 Spybot-install" ran without prompting and installed version 2.5.42.130. I skipped trhe...

Hi Matthew,

Hi,

I was browsing this as I suffered the removal on Nov 12th upgrade of my Win10 m/c, but simply went ahead and re-installed. However as my m/c was supplied ready with Win10, I did not know...

Thanks for the clarification


ken

Just as a matter of clarity, what functionality has been lost in S&D Free by the removal of Teatimer?


regards

With that then, all that there is left is to say a huge 'Thank you' to all at Spybot, but most especially you Ken.

To all of you
A Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous...

Hi Ken

As there is no Java section in the Control Panel I have just checked with my nephew, who actually did the installation, and JAVA itself was not installed on the Win7 system.
He got me to...

Hi Ken,

First I removed the items as you recommended.
Subsequently, I have now scanned twice with Spybot, as I went into the quarantine after the first and saw the dread Montero.toolbar there. So...

Hi Ken,

I have just run a scan and for the first time in recent history, there is no Montera.toolbar listed.
I hope that this means that the horror has been eliminated: is my hope justified?
...

Your question on Montera :
I think this is the answer

I have not seen pop-ups happening, but I keep them locked out anyway. The indication came from the Spybot S&D scan

Reagrds,

Hi,

Sorry, I cannot find Extras.txt and it did not open automatically.

Hi,

I am assuming this is too big and you need both logs

Here is the OTL report.It is too long to post, so I will have to split it.. The Extras.txt report is also there, but I will put it into a new post rather than messing about.

Ken...

Ken,

When the scan was finished it went straight to the log with an Alert which stated 'No malicious items found...'.
The log it showed is pasted below as it is so short.

As you suggested Zenobia, this was in Logs\Checks.080619-2004.txt, which is the last check before I uninstalled ver 1.3 and installed 1.5.2
