Spybot 2.1 wouldn't start this morning. I just started it from the start menu and absolutely nothing happened. Tried again, still nothing. Waited for like a minute or so, which should be plenty, but nothing still.

Went into the task manager, killed *two* instances of SDWelcome.exe, started spybot a third time, and now it worked.

This tastes like a bug to me.


Running Windows 7 x64, UAC disabled, virusscanner = MS Forefront. This was the first time starting spybot since the last reboot.
