Hope I'm in the right place. First time problem.
Recently, when I click on to a video I have stored that I shot, Spybot opens a small scan window instead . I think this annoyance started after the last upgrade. I find it intrusive and a pain. When I click on an image or video, I expect it to automatically play as it used to do. I do not want to have Spybot get in the way. Any suggestions or help much appreciated.
Thanks
