I've been having the same problem for the last 5 -6 years that I have been using SpyBot. I have asked this question many times before but never recieved any help, so I am again asking, hopeing someone will reply...
When I install SpyBot (doesn't matter which version, but I always install the newest version directly from Safer-Networking), it installs perfectly with absolutely no problems, updates no problem and does everything it's suppose to do with no problem.
But once installed and I try to use Windows Media Player, then a few problems become obvious.
1.) Any visualization I want to use in Media Player starts, then freezes.
2.) The bar that moves along the bottom of media player does not move for 13 - 15 seconds, then jumps to 31 - 33 seconds.
The music or video plays fine, there are no problems there. But the above mentioned always happens. However if I enable TeaTimer, then the music skips or stutters badly.
The only way I found to fix this is to remove SpyBot, then do a system restore (I have to do a system restore because Media Player keeps working the way I said above if I don't).
Media Player works perfectly before SpyBot is installed but does not after the install. It makes no difference if an Anti-Virus is installed or not, because I thought of that and removed the anti-virus with the very same results.
I also tried a fresh install of Windows without and with all updates etc and still got the same results.
I don't want to stop using SpyBot because I trust it more then any other software, but at the same time I don't want to have to install it, scan my system, remove it the do a system restore everytime I want to use Media Player..
Does any one know how I can solve this?
