Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!
Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.
We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.
Is it possble to set a boot time scan with Spybot?

The "Run program once at next system startup" option adds a startup entry to the following registry key:
Startup entries in that registry key execute before most other startup entries are processed.
There is another alternative to try to get rid of the things that Spybot-S&D is having difficulty removing. Run Spybot-S&D in Safe mode.
