When I try to run the demo I downloaded today (dom3demo.exe), Spybot says it has "encountered and terminated a process that is listed as part of a malicious software", and says "Identified as: ...
I've been using PC-cillin 2008 and Spybot for several months on XP pro with no problems.
PC-c objects to the hosts-file part of Spybot's immunization (lots of FPs), so I un-check hosts-file on the...
New PC - installed Spybot 1.5 first, and immunized. Later installed Firefox. Silly me.
Now Spybot won't offer to do the Firefox immunizations, like it does on another PC that had Firefox before...
"remember though that you cannot re-enable spybots immunization, or spybots host file, coz pccillin will detect them as spyware entries"
Actually, their anti-spyware scan will detect a bit over a...
There have been a lot of problems lately with svchost taking 100% of cpu. Related to windows updates and due to a microsoft bug. We haven't had the problem, so I haven't checked out the hotfix or...
I've had mixed results with their tech support over the years, but not really worse than with other companies. Its just too bad they don't have a forum like this one.

If you go to "scheduled tasks" and your task says something like "could not start", it may be because you don't have the "run as" and password filled in correctly. In my experience, just having a...
Glad to help
Also, if you decide to go with the free stuff, get an anti-virus program and at least one rootkit scanner, in addition to the firewall and antispyware programs. AVG has free av,...

If you are really lucky, maybe TM might agree to let you extend your 2006 licences in exchange for your 2007 license. FWIW, when I called them about problems with 2007 soon after it came...
I think the requirement to uninstall Spybot started with an update to the 2007 version, but was not in the original 2007. But if you want to be current, I think you are stuck, because you have to go...
So your task might look something like.....
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOUPDATE /AUTOIMMUNIZE /AUTOCHECK /AUTOFIX /AUTOCLOSE
I once worked around a similar error by checking (or clearing, its been a while and I don't remember) the "run only if logged on" box in the task scheduler.
Last I checked, PC-cillin still requires that you un-install Spybot before you install PC-c, but you can re-install Spybot later.
I run PC-c with the "Suspicious Software Alarm System" turned...
PC-cillin also seems to have issues on machines that do not have Spybot, although not the same symptoms as I described above, so it seems likely that the problems on my 1st machine had nothing to do...
Once it runs, click "mode" at the top and make sure it is "advanced"
Then click settings on the left, then the other "settings" under that.
Scroll down to "automation" and "system start". Select...
Still not sure what caused the hangs in my 1st post. (And just in case it wasn't clear, the machine locked up completely several times, so only the power-switch would let me out. Also, before the...
I'm curious how many people have this issue. I had brief access to a machine with both after I saw this thread, so I tried to beat it death with about 8 or 9 windows and about 8 or 9 tabs in the 1st...
I've used them together, with all protections active on both, except I don't use Teatimer. No problems.
PC-cillin-2007 is another matter..... :( Still working on that.
PS - if you can,...
Trend Micro wants me to un-install Spybot (and also try some other things)...
I'll be doing lots of experimenting over the weekend.
PS - I never had problems like the ones referred to in the...
I'm no big fan of Symantec. Was a contented user around 2001 / 2003, and ditched them in 2004. But, when I was using both their "internet security" and Spybot, Spybot's system startup list...
Anybody know if there are any issues ? I ask because after upgrading from Pc-Cillin 2006 to 2007 on a machine with Spybot, it started hanging every few minutes. I assume that pcc-2007 doesn't crash...
May not sound like a big deal, but I would like an option to have new entries to the hosts file added automagically. Others have requested an automatic update -- I roll my own with a scheduled task...
Has anybody installed Spybot on SBS2003 ? Any problems or opinions about whether it is worth it ?
(FWIW, our server is not running Exchange, is not a gateway, and is not doing hardly anything...
I have a scheduled task on my computer with /autoupdate /autocheck /autofix / autoimmunize
Adding spybot's list to the hosts file is the only extra busywork I have to do after every update (or am...
