After scan reboot returns c:\windows\system32\command.com the parameter is incorrect
After performing scan, it reported that certain items could not be fixed and asked if it could run after reboot. The system was rebooted and now it reports error:
c:\windows\system32\command.com
The parameter is incorrect. Clicking it keeps report error message over and over. The system never really goes beyond that point.
this is also happening to me. This is the second incident where after a scan has fixed problems this error occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening or a fix?
this has also happened to me. can we know somethink about this ASAP as i am in dire need of my computer.
Log on to the system in safe mode. Start regedit. Navigate to the following registry key and see if there is an entry with "c:\windows\system32\command.com ..." in the data portion of the entry:
If there is, please copy down the entry (or export it) and then delete the entry. Restart your system in normal mode.Code:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
If you found the entry described above, please post what you found.
If there was no entry please post what Windows OS you are running and if you can remember what you were fixing, please post that.

Zango is an adware.Originally Posted by cr4zyl3gs
Info (From Spybot-S&D)
Functionality: Zango is labeled adware that enables access to more Zangocontent and software.
Privacy: While Zango Software is installed on your computer it generates logs of your web browsing activity, including web pages you have visited and the order in which you visited these pages. These logs may be uploaded to Zango’s servers, along with an anonymous user ID assigned to the Zango Software installed on your computer (your “Anonymous User ID”). These logs and your Anonymous User ID are referred to collectively as “Usage Data.” Zango may use Usage Data for market research purposes and to provide you with content specifically targeted to your interests at times when we think the content is most relevant. Zango may store Usage Data on our servers, for our use, and may aggregate Usage Data from these logs and share the aggregate data with third parties. The Zango Software will also put a "cookie" on your machine so that we are able to recognize you and display appropriate targeted websites. A cookie is a small amount of data that Zango’s servers transfer to your browser and that only Zango’s servers can read.
Description: during installation zango used to connect to bis.180solutions.com to access updates, this happened without user consent. The checkbox to agree to the EULA is already preselected.
There is no common way to disable zango once it is installed, the user cannot configure its behaviour. It is added to system start and cannot be disabled through a common interface or context menu. An uninstallation via add/remove from windows system settings is possible but usually leaves a registry key on the computer. Also AFTER successful uninstall, zango tries to connect to a zango server for statistical analysis on uninstalls. A deactivated internet connection used to impair uninstall procedure 180Solutions is not to be trusted.
For some odd reason my RunOnce wasnt there but there was

Hello,
For issues regarding the Spybot 2.0 Beta please post in the existing Beta Thread.
About your problem:
We were able to reproduce the problem and will try to fix it, meaning the command.com window will be removed..

Ref. System32 parameters are incorrect
I was having issues logging in to my Windows XP operating system following a large update from Spybot (my PC has not been in use for the last 18 months+) & an update of the Windows Service Pack (to v2 I believe). Each time I tried to log in I was confronted by a system32 command message saying the parameters were incorrect. Given that I could not get into the system (due to these messages preventing me) I followed the instructions one of the Spybot team had given to another poster suggesting you go into the task manager, the Spybot advanced user setting & delete the Spybot entries from the list (and as such am now able to use the system). I saved the start-up Spybot list as suggested by one of the members of the team so that I could send it to you for review but the attachment is too large for the forum I have been told.
Please can you let me know who I could send this attachment to for review and advice in terms of the best way forward?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
solution
This is what worked for me..... when the window pops up that says the parameters are incorrect, I hit the ESC key like a kazillion times. I read somewhere online where someone ELSE tried that, so I decided to do the same. It worked for me. I have had no problem since!
I should also add that I deleted the Spybot program. Too many problems with it on my XP computer.
