The problem was finally solved by uninstalling Comodo 3.8 and installing the latest issue of Comodo 3.9. (For more information see the Comodo link above.) I am now able to run Spybot Search &...

Thanks for the reference to using the Purge facility. I tried that and had to purge twice before Comodo told me that all (remaining) entries were valid. Strangely though the sddt.exe file is still...

When I browsed to find the file sddt.exe I could not find it! I wondered if it could be a hidden or system type file so I went to Control Panel and set things to show all... but it still did not...

I didn't knowingly take part in any testing so I am not sure how the sddt.exe appeared; I presume it must form part of the normal install process.

Sorry for the delay - my broadband service disappeared and I had to wait for an engineer to fit a new modem! Also, there was a lot of information to copy. :)

I tried showing hidden files etc;...

When I go to Defence+ My Blocked Files I see the message: 'There are no items to show'! :scratch:

I presume I don't need to go through the process of showing hidden files etc before I check My...

The advice was given by 'Panic' reply no 1 on 22 February. :)

No, I have AVG for antivirus.

The Target info is:

"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe"

There is definitely nothing after exe" - but no doubt you will know if that is...

I hope I have got this right! Details are as follows:

--- Spybot - Search & Destroy version: 1.6.2 (build: 20090126) ---

I don't know if this will help... I have just tried SAFE mode and the problem is no longer there; everything worked normally! :)

I was under the impression that diagnostic start up mode was very...

No problem; I'm glad you take a break occasionally! :laugh:

Yes, this latest suggestion of yours does work. Out of interest I then tried using the normal desktop icon and running as administrator...

Thanks for this. Most of the entries in that file relate to cookies. The ones that don't were to do with Realplayer, Flash and a PUP viruscleaner.dll. At the end of the list are 3 items with N/A...

Sorry for the delay - we were out all day yesterday. :)

I had already put the hidden files etc back to 'normal'; but thanks for the reminder - better to be safe than sorry! :)

Thanks again - and for confirming that the information I provided was 'normal'!

Yes, Spybot is the only app I have had this problem with.

On the Properties/Security there are three names...
