Spybot not loading in Vista

No,if any Immunization is undone,Spybot doesn't automatically readd immunization.It's done manually,by clicking the Immunize button with the green cross next to it.
 
Zen: Ok, well I reimmunized anyway. I can't remember how long the scan took in normal mode, but in safe it took 20 mins. (Didn't find any problems, just some usage tracks)

Drrag, yep I know, I did a little bit of research afterwards and found that, but what I thought was strange was that after quarantining in AVG, spybot didn't see anything that was unimmunized (i'm talking about the columns protected / unprotected).

still not loading sometimes, and (sorry i just remembered this now :P) sometimes the teatimer icon doesn't show in the systray, but it's functioning anyway...

When starting Spybot in safe mode,did you have any problems starting Spybot,or did it start right up?
 
Well, in safe mode there were no problems. Just opened in normal mode again without problems, downloaded some updates, so i'll run a scan in normal mode in a little bit, to find out how long it takes (even if it does have a few more detections).. - Chris
 
Could I see a startup list,if you are able to open Spybot okay next time?
Open Spybot,click mode,advanced mode,then Tools,System Startup,then click Export,then Save.
Go to View Report->View Previous Report->doubleclick SpybotSD.System startup report.txt,after it opens in Spybot rightclick,select Select All,rightclick again and select Copy,then paste it here.
 
Here you go Zen, while trying to get SB to work previously I was shutting down most things (including AVG because of some bad detections on their part..)
- Chris
p.s. right-click? such a laborious way (CTRL+A | CTRL+C | ALT+TAB | CTRL+V :p:)
Edit: Hmmm? Teatimer on LU? I'd prefer on LM.... any idea how to move it? [/lazy]

I see you do have Zone Alarm.Is that the free or Pro version?

Sorry,not quite getting the Teatimer question.Do you mean you`d prefer it be at HK_LM?
 
Hiya. It's the free version.

And yes, surely it would be more effective in LM than CU, at least on multi-profile computers.. Unless I missed an option somewhere... - Chris
 
Not all users might want to use Teatimer,so the startup entry is put into HK_CU.Teatimer can just be activated on other user accounts by going to Tools->Resident,and checkmarking Teatimer.

Odd that you have a somewhat similar problem to lion1860's,and you both have Zone Alarm.

I know it seems unlikely for a firewall to cause problems with Spybot starting,but then again I've had weirder things happen to me before,so I try to take such things at face value.
Are you able to log off the Internet?If so,maybe you could just temporarily shut down Zone Alarm,and see if Spybot starts normally without problems then.
 
Mmmm ok. First of all I'll have to find out when SB isn't working, to then turn off ZA and try it.
I'm on a laptop so i'm ok leaving the net ;)
- Chris
 
Usually,Spybot loads right up for me after the UAC prompt,and doesn't take time before I see the loading bar.So,if Spybot has been slow starting as well as sometimes not starting,you could try shutting down Zone Alarm any time just to see what happens. :)
 
Hiya Zen, was looking at some other posts before posting my details. Turning ZA off (unfortunately) does nothing with regards to this problem, it's not loading ATM, and I turned ZA off (i guess it goes all the way off, didn't look in process/services as they give a warning that it will disable its internet protection) but it still wouldn't load.
The Teatimer icon is showing in the systray...
Ran a scan (in normal mode), with a few updated defs and it took 31 mins, instead of safe mode's 20.
- Chris
 
Hi. :)
I'm getting a bit stumped.
Not sure what would cause Spybot not to startup sometimes.

If it starts fine in safe mode,it would seem to me maybe something running is causing problems,and it starts fine in safe mode because that 'something' isn't running then.But I cannot figure what it would be. :scratch: But then,you also indicated you were shutting down most other apps when starting Spybot,so that may not be it at all.
Here you go Zen, while trying to get SB to work previously I was shutting down most things (including AVG because of some bad detections on their part..)
Click to expand...

You don't really have an overabundance of startup items,and even some of those are disabled in startup,I see.

You have no problems starting any other apps on your computer?
 
I'm already stumped ;)
Mmmm it started fine -once- in safe mode, it may not start again. If you want i can try again, but not sure if it would help much.
Yep, the first few times I tried shutting down almost everything, but later I still had most things open, usually just shut down the HP thingy.
Yeah, I disabled some things to try and speed up my computer, also disabled some services, if you know of any that SB needs?

The only problems are graphix related, the rest of the stuff starts normally (other than the teatimer icon not displaying sometimes... but showing under processes). - Chris
 
Teatimer does that on my computer too,sometimes.TT is always running in Task Manager when I check,though.

Spybot just needs the SBSD Security Center service for Windows Security Center,as far as I know.

You could try opening Spybot in safe mode a couple more times if you would like to.Just to see what happens.No need to do a scan each time,unless you were planning on scanning anyways.

Yeah, I had that on automatic anyway. Will see if SB works in safe mode all the time, but there's not much else we can do. Would Process Monitor be any use? - Chris
 
re:Process Explorer.Well,it might,but I would not be much help to you.That's something that might be more bitman or md territory.But,you could give it a try and see what you come up with.
 
Mmm strange, two things:
Tried to start SB, didn't work. Thought it a bit strange that 75%+ of RAM was being used after closing down most processes, opened the 'other' processes (system ones i think), and shut down some useless things like search indexer and print spooler. Opened spybot again and surprise surprise, it worked!! could it have something to do with RAM?? (512 MB with vista, i know its low but that's how they sell it!)

second thing, last night spybot wouldn't work. Tried to get into a game called planeshift (planeshift.it) in an area that causes problems for my comp (and others) due to lag (=resource strain). this area, like spybot, sometimes works for me, sometimes doesn't. This time it didn't work for me! Not sure if it's connected but i'll try to research more! - Chris
 
Hmmm can't edit posts after logging out of a session :(

The second item appears to be unrelated (unfortunately!) just had the game not work, and tried spybot but it worked. Still have to try the safe mode tests - Chris
