• 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.

Hello, My problem is as follows: cant get on the internet continues to say "we're sorry had a problem and crashed", Can't run spybot scan will open but will not scan and it will not let me delete spybot as well, I have also downloaded Hijackthis and installed it but it will not let the program run, it says "I do not have appropriate permissions to access the item". Also i am unable to boot in safe mode! Thanks in advance!
