    I was able to create a BartPE disk, works great but the fix is not working, I changed the registry and rebooted, still logs in then logs out...

    I also have the same problem. I try to log in, it starts to, my background loads, but then it immediately logs me out and I'm back at the welcome screen. I'm using XP home.

    I tried to boot from the XP disc and use the recovery console to copy userinit.exe but it didn't help.

    I also can't use safe mode at all.

    I don't know what could be causing it, I just used the same spybot I've used for years, updated it and ran it. It found a couple infections but I can't remember what there were.


    Is there anything else I could try?

    I've got the same logging in/logging off problem as everyone else after running Spybot on Wednesday.

    Has anyone found a solution for a non-networked computer?

    I have had this on many computers so far and have successfully repaired it! Follow the instructions here to build a Bart PE CD:

    I noticed that you must use a non-OEM Windows XP CD to build the Bart PE CD.

    Default Thanks for suggestion

    Thank you for your suggestion. I'll work on creating the Bart CD. I'm thankful we have a laptop as I don't know what we would have done with no working computer.

    After all this, should we stop using Spybot? Will whatever happened be fixed? Is somebody at Spybot looking into this or should I report it in another place?

    I can install Spybot v1.5.2 and boot up ok but, I tried to uninstall Spybot and i get an error msg: "c:\program files\spybot-search and destroy\unins000.msg" missing. Re-install or download new file.
    How is that done? I'm not a guru so could sure use some help if someone out there has had any experience with this!
    Thanks, Arnie

    Try re-installing Spybot again and then uninstalling it. This problem is relatively rare though I have no idea what causes it.

    If you still can't uninstall it then try this FAQ.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    clarkabc,

    You might try deactivating SpybotSD's IE Browser helper (Tools>Resident then untick Resident SD Helper) then reboot and try the uninstall again. If that doesn't work, then I would also recommend the approach suggested by Terminator.

    Aha! I remember this culprit. Tom and I solved it :P.

    Well it actually depends on the version of the current Spybot that this error message is occurring. If this is 1.4, then you'll have to retrieve the executable for 1.4 and install it over the current version. As far as I know the user won't be able to uninstall of the message appears.

    After that... UNDO the immunization and disable SDHELPER and TEATIMER. I'm not sure if the "small fix" will be required, unless the user is facing problems installing 1.5.2.20.

    For those in this thread who are experiencing the logon/logoff loop problem, I suggest you do a Repair install, run Spybot and see what it finds. Don't remove it with Spybot, just make a note of what it is along with the registry info. that can be gotten by expanding the problem name (click the + sign). There are other ways to remove the problem(s), albeit it takes longer. I'm curious as to what types of "baddies" it finds....I had the same problem and ended up doing a destructive reinstall today, but just for curiousity sake, post what problems Spybot found, I'm wondering if you have the same issues I did.
