Installed 1.5.1.15 now IE won't launch
I just installed Spybot Search&Destroy v1.5.1.15 and now IE (6.0) won't launch.
I installed with the SDHelper option, but NOT the Tea Timer. I also ran "Immunize" after the updates.
I can see iexplorer.exe in the task manager, but it will not launch.
When opening Spybot, it would take literally 1 minute to launch.
When I uninstall Spybot, IE can open just fine.
I'm currently running WinXP SP2 with IE6.
Any ideas?

You can download here RC (Release Candidate) version 1.5.1.19: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=22299
Did you tried to disable SDHelper?
To disable SDHelper, go to Spybot-S&D>Tools>Resident and clear checkbox "Resident "SDHelper" (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active." (before that, close Internet Explorer).
Do you know when v1.5.2 will be available? (rather than installing an RC version)
Thanks, that did it. I can launch IE now. Do we know what's causing this? Or am I doomed to disable SDHelper for good?
There seem to a similar incident in the following thread were hhm7163 reported a problem launching Internet Explorer 6 with "SDHelper" enabled:
That particular problem has not been directly addressed by "Team Spybot" yet.

Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Thanks. Disabling the SDHelper did the trick for me. Hopefully this problem will be addressed and fixed.
Do you also use the Google toolbar?
If so, which version? That can be found behind the Settings button on the toolbar, menu Help there, then Infos.

Yes I do.
It is v4.0.1601.4978
There is a new version of the google toolbar out now i.e. 4.0.1602.1060 and there is 5.0 beta out as well.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Hello,
Please upgrade your program, version 1.5.2 is available!
You can download the new version here:

Just install over the old version.
Don't forget to update afterwards!
We hope you enjoy 1.5.2 even more than our previous releases!
Best regards

Thanks! Works much better now.
Application load time is w/in 10 seconds.
IE now opens, even with SDHelper enabled.
The one thing I did notice after the install+update, is that "Immunize" doesn't seem to work. It says "Protected = 0". In the main window, there are no progress bar. It works after restarting the app.
