    Default Spybot starts up but is OFF screen

    Hi! Has anyone possibly got an answer for this ..
    I have just downloaded Spybot and am trying to set it up
    When Spybot starts, I get the loading bar, it runs across OK

    then a dialog box asks me to leave or disable something, I ignore it but do not tick the box to NOT SHOW THIS again,

    then SPybot disappears, though it's there in the Taskbar down below.

    While trying to get it to 'maximize' from the Taskbar, I caught a quick peek at it opening up, except it went off-screen to the left. (I've only ever used a single monitor)

    This is my third attempt to Re-install Spybot, since it vanished, around Wednesday - Using several Antivirus and rootkit progs individually show no infections.. Help!

    Default Other option

    If you click on the spybot search icon on the taskbar so that the window is on the left screen and not minimized (selected) then
    1) alt+spacebar (right clicks the window)
    2) Press M (move option for window)
    3) Use arrow keys to move window to desired place
    4) click with mouse

    That is what worked for me

    This is what I did and it works great since I was not even able to find the said .zip file from the linked post. Thanks for these instructions.
