I was told that if the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package didn't get installed when I reinstalled Spybot, then it doesn't need it. Hmmm....

Hope it's okay to post on this thread...

This is the exact problem I just started having today. It did start after the last updates. I am using Spybot 1.4, as I have read of a number of issues in...

Thanks for the reply!

install.exe
MsoHtmEd.exe
winnt32.exe
