    Default Spybot interferes with bank login


    I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox. When I do a scan Spybot goofs up my bank login. How can I stop it from doing that ? Thank you

    Hello TelescopeGlass,

    Sorry to hear of the problem, which version of Spybot S&D do you have installed?

    https://www.safer-networking.org/com...ybot-editions/

    As a Windows user you probably know that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft and thus does not receive security updates/patches or technical support?

    It might make on-line bank transactions that much more vulnerable to malware.

    Email response.

    For Tashi: I don't know what version it is because it doesn't say. There should be a law that forces those who create software to

    state which version it is since they're so impolite.

    To check your Spybot - Search & Destroy edition:

    • Open the Spybot Start Center.
    • Click on Show Details in the bottom right corner of the Start Center.
    • Under the Spybot logo on the top left corner of the Start Center, you should see the Spybot edition written in blue writing.
    • If you are a licensed user you should also have +ANTIVIRUS written in red writing.

    I forgot to say that Spybot also messed up my login to gmail. Might as well uninstall it and stop donating

    Default Why does Spybot think Gmail is Spyware ?

    Whenever I use Spybot I get locked out of Gmail. Does that mean Gmail REALLY IS SPYWARE ?
