Hi tashi
thanks I realised that shortly after I'd posted. Can't delete a post once I've created it though.
Can't believe I was had. :rolleyes:
These are all available for FREE from this site. You've been conned.
Perhaps check for 3rd party firewalls and only display this if there isn't one.
Thanks for the confirmation and quick reply. :)

Is there a link to this as I have only managed to find 1.5.0.6?
as far as I can tell the problem is not SpyBot but Windows. It happens with a lot of usage tracks, SpyBot removes then and Windows instantly recreates then.
