It all began when I couldn't open Spybot SD for almost a month. Dedicated people worked with me to walk me through the procedure, at every angle, just to get the same results I began with.
It got to the point when a user named "129260" started asking questions, that got me to bringing up other problems. After a few more steps I couldn't open Spybot, so they recommended me here.
The location of the thread is here http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=29261
I was also wondering, if I use hijackthis should I download for the link you give, or should I use the hijackthis program I already have, version is 2.0.0.2
To summarize Spybot SD can be installed, but cannot open, either in normal windows start up, nor in safe mode.
Thank you.
