    Question Spybot wont allow programs to open

    When I attempt to open Google Chrome, itunes, Firefox, and even Uninstall Spybot S&D a window opens saying "scanning _____" and then nothing found. If I try to open above mentioned programs the process starts again. ther are no option buttons or anything on the window only a close but and the "X" in the upper right hand corner.

    any help?
    thanks

    Hello,

    To disable the single files scan please open the registry editor by:
    (a)
    press windowskey + r then enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
    or
    (b)
    click on "start" , then "run" and enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)

    (a+b)
    and then browse to the following path.

    Please delete the following registry keys:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles

    For more information, please have a look at this thread in our forum.

    Best regards
