SB seems to be blocking my internet access. Every time I do a system scan my connection to the network goes down. I have to do a system restore to get it back. This is also happening to two other people that I recommended Spybot to. It seems to have something to do with the firewall and security settings as those are identified as problems. Nothing else looks likely.
Hello mcenerny,
Which version of Spybot -Search & Destroy do you have and is the Spybot proxy enabled?
Best regards.

The most recent version - I removed it so am not sure of the specifics. First I disabled the Spybot proxy and restored what I could, but even after removing Spybot my internet was still not working. I had to restore the system to before installing SB.

Without knowing the specifics it's hard to say what happened, but glad things are back to normal. :)
