Can't boot after v1.5.2 installation
I did a cursory look at the forum and didn't see this problem. I installed v1.5.2 and did the requested reboot. Now I can't log in to my system. I click on my username and type in my password, and the system logs me in and then immediately logs me out. This happens repeatedly. I have tried virtually all boot modes under the f8 menu: safe mode, debugging mode, everything. (OS is XP Pro, and I think it is completely updated--it updates automatically). The behavior is always the same for either my regular account or the admin account. It logs in and immediately logs out. Any suggestions? I REALLY don't want to reinstall the OS.
Same Problem - Can't log in on start-up
I am having the exact same problem as "round midnight". I updated Spybot to 1.5.2 last night from an old version icon on my desktop. What am I supposed to do to correct the problem? I am a computer user not installer or tech person so my knowledge is very limited. I thought I was doing a good thing yesterday by updating my virus scans - wrong!!!
Me too! anyone have success on non-networked computer
I've got the same logging in/logging off problem as everyone else after running Spybot on Wednesday.
Has anyone found a solution for a non-networked computer?
Chalk up 3 more hosed PCs
I downloaded the latest update last night, and today I am in the login/logout loop! My machine is a Dell. I came to work and asked our IT guy about it and he said 2 other people at work had had the exact same problem after running Spybot over the weekend!
I really think you should be devoting time to figuring out what your last update is doing to people's PCs... PRONTO!
You guys arent getting it
Your problem is not spybot, It never was. Your problem is two things, CoolWWWsearch.hjg and HellzLittleSpy. Once you remove HellzLittleSpy you won't be able to get back on your desktop, ever! I've been trying in vain to find a solution to get those two out without having problems. I still can't. I downloaded CWS shredder and it got rid of coolwwwsearch.hjg but without finding a way to get rid of HellzLittleSpy as well, it just comes right back. And like I said, if you let ANY VERSION of spybot, spyroot spywhatever delete it, you arent coming back to your desktop! This is so incredibly AGGRAVATING!! I can't believe after all this time there's STILL no solution. I'm sorry if I sounded nasty in all this, I honest to god didnt mean to and I apologize to you all. I'm just so exhausted with this thing. I cant get rid of it!!! job1866@aol.com
I've done everything suggested here - no luck!
I still can't log in! Last night I created the BartPE, edited the registry back to what it should be, and I'm still looping. My company's IT department has had my machine all morning with no success!
This is NOT a MINOR inconvenience Spybot people. Your program has destroyed (at least so far) many PCs and wasted substantial time for probably 1000's of people. Remember, most people can't get here to complain... because their PC doesn't work!
I talked to a Geek Squad buddy of mine who says he has given up trying to fix this and is just reinstalling XP! What are the downsides to doing that?
