I have searched the forums and I have noticed other people have reported this, but none of the resposes to their threads have helped me.
I use Windows Vista. I have the most recent version of spybot, I downloaded it only a few days ago. It was in default mode and I made no changes to the settings, but this morning when I opened my computer, once I logged on to Windows, before it opened any other programs, Spybot opened on a black screen, I let it run for a few minutes but it made me nervous that nothing else had started, so I stopped the scan. The screen stayed black, I used ctl-alt-del to log off, and when I logged back on, and everything was fine. I ran the spybot scan with windows started. Later I restarted my computer and again, when I logged on to Windows, again it ran the scan on a black screen, so I logged off and logged back in again. I don't know if I need to completely run the scan this way once and it will stop, or if it is unnecessary and there is a way to stop it.
I haven't installed teatimer, I just use spybot as an on-demand scanner.
I would appreciate anyone's help with this.
Thanks
Karen
