• 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.

WIN7 Compatibility Issue

I'm running WIN7 Home Premium, 32-bit, SP1, and ran into a problem with Spybot's scheduler. Other posts suggest running Spybot as an administrator but that seems more a workaround than a fix. Here's a fix that worked for me:

Navigate to Start/All Programs/Spybot S&D folder/Spybot S&D icon. Right click the icon and select Troubleshoot Compatibility. The troubleshooter reported Spybot isn't fully WIN7 compatible and suggested running it in XP compatibility mode. After saving the new settings and exiting the troubleshooter, Spybot's scheduler performed perfectly.

Good luck!
