Truchaos:
Before uninstalling Spybot did you "Undo" the immunization?
If not try reinstalling Spybot without SDHelper and TeaTimer. To do that:
- When you get to the "Select Additional Tasks" screen during the installation, uncheck the following two items:
- Use Internet Explorer protection (SDHelper)
- Use system settings protection (TeaTimer)
After Spybot is installed:
- Go into Spybot > Immunize.
- Make sure that all immunization catagories in the right hand pane are checked.
- Click the "Undo" button at the top of the right hand pane.
- See if you can access the internet using AOL broadband.
