Browser helper to block bad downloads is NOT installed.

[craigceg]

I have 2 problems:

On the immunize page, the "browser helper to block bad downloads" check box is not checked, however when I try to check it, it just turns grey and will not install/check. How do I fix that? A complete scan comes up clean.

The second problem (not sure if they are related) is everytime I restart the computer the "system32" folder opens. Any suggestions?

This is a Windows 2000 SP4 fully patched.

Thank you for any help. :)

The sdhelper.dll is probably missing from your Spybot - Search & Destroy folder.
To check,go to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy and see if you see sdhelper.dll in there.

That was it, thank you. A quick re-install and update took care of the problem. I wonder what happened to that .dll?

Any ideas on why a folder (system32) keeps opening on reboot? I have tried the suggestions found by googling the problem, but none have helped.

Thanks again for your help.:bigthumb:

Actually,I could of posted a link for a sdhelper.dll download,but reinstalling will work,too.(Sorry about that.) :)
In the past,sdhelper.dll was sometimes deleted by malware.Are you having any malware-type problems?
