    I ...um... labored with Support on this issue.

    As of this moment, there is no fix.

    That out of the way, I got the admission that (summarizing) "lots of people have it". Research seems to be producing nothing in the near term. They are working on it. They seem to be unable to reproduce a solution.

    Sounds similar to COVID-19, doesn't it?

    Since I, and I suppose most people, can see the problem regularly, I offered to help in debugging. To date, the only bugs I've heard about are crickets. Maybe if we don' talk about it, it'll go away.

    I filed my report on 28 April and was forgotten/ignored in early May. Not good, people. Not good. I'm looking closely at Malwarebytes. 'Nuff said.
    It's important to know when to stop arguing with people, and just let them be wrong.

    Default Live Protection driver fail

I did the requested restarts, etc. Live Protection, even running Start Center as Admin fails. Full patched Win10 with many Gb of free space.

    Same here.
    btw, I removed the Mcfee trial that Win10 comes with. (It has live protection). I have checked, and I found no other live protection from another app installed/running.

    I also had spybotAV 2.7 and its live protection worked.

    A patch or test file has been put out and it works, at least for me, as it should. If nothing else, open a support ticket and ask for the patch kit.

    Hello,

    This is the information I was given.

    We apologise for the inconvenience.

    We are currently looking into this issue and have prepared a fix which we hope to include with the next Spybot updates but for now you can download and install it manually.

    Please download the installer then run it to install the new Live Protection files.

    You can download the Live Protection fix using the link below:
    https://download.spybot.info/Spybot2...ion-update.exe

    Once the file has downloaded, please run the file.

    Click “Yes” when prompted by the User Account Control.

    The installer will open and then download and install the Live Protection files.

    You will then be prompted to reboot your system for the changes to take affect.

    Please restart your PC then let us know if Live Protection is now active.

    Thanks for posting this!

    The file has worked as promised. Once installed, it goes to work after every boot-up.

    Hello,

    I received this information:

    Please download the debug tool then download the new Live Protection files.

    You can download the Live Protection debugging tool using the link below:
    https://download.spybot.info/Spybot2...LPTests.v2.exe

    Once the tool has downloaded, please run the tool.

    You will see a small window saying that this tool will only run from the Spybot folder and will ask if you would like to move it there and restart the tool. Click Yes when you see this prompt.

    If you see a security warning, click “Run” to allow the file to run.

    The tool should run automatically and you should already see an output on the left hand side of the window.

    Click the “download alternative files #1” button to download the Live Protection files.

    After downloading the files, click on “Run Test (Service method)” and “Run test (direct method)” then copy the output then paste into your next reply.

    This information will help us to determine if the new files have resolved the issue.

    We appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.

    Thank you.

    I have simular problems with (Home 2.8 under Win10) even after reinstalling several times it fails to install.

    Live protection System driver cannot be installed.

    I tried in elevated mode as ADMIN but still the same problem, I tried from settings in advanced mode but still no luck.
    I have a multi licence and the same problem occures on 3 computers.
