What exactly is this ???
I have posted about this before and got nothing answers... I'm about ready to chuck spybot altogether at this point since it does THIS kind of crap AND doesn't protect other browsers on the system what actually get used like chrome. I have uninstalled reinstalled cleared registry settings all to no avail here... Is this maybe some ply to get folks to BUY the registered version?
On windows 7 and yes my account is a system administrator account and I have uninstalled and reinstalled "as administrator" as well.. NOTHING gets rid of this...
Hello thghgv,

Have you considered upgrading to Windows 10?

So let me get this straight - YOU'RE SAYING THAT BECAUSE I AM NOT RUNNING WIN10 THIS SPYWARE TOOL IS HOSED UP?
And NO, I have no intention of putting win10 on this box... win10 is full of spyware itself so no sale there...
I find it EXTREMELY difficult to believe that Windows 7 is the cause of this issue... It's been doing this for 3 months despite
uninstalls and reinstalls of spybot...

That is one HELL of a support model you have for this spybot thing... The product screws up and you blame it on the fact that the OS oem doesn't provide "updates" ?
Time for me to look elsewhere for a spyware tool.
Has the spybot 2.8 malfunction of triggering virus scanner components on machine shut down been fixed yet???? The published "workarounds" did not work the last time I tried it over 2 some years ago...
Since SB 2.7 immunization fails to engage over 30+ of it's OWN protections it's either v2.8 that is FIXED or dropping of SB all together and going with something else.
