• 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.

Spybot proxy down?

I have a message that Spybot's System Services are not operating, and therefore Live Protection and the proxy server are not available. I am using Spybot Professional Edition. Is anyone else seeing this happening?
thank you.
 
Try opening Spybot start center,checkmark Advanced User Mode,click Settings(saying yes to the prompt from UAC,if applicable),then select the System Services tab.If you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark beside Scanner Service,and the button beside it says Start,click that button and see if Scanner Service will start.Also,make sure that Active after every reboot has a checkmark.Click Apply and OK.If anything happens that it won't start or you get an error,please post back. :)
