Spybot proxy down?

[portia1955]

I have a message that Spybot's System Services are not operating, and therefore Live Protection and the proxy server are not available. I am using Spybot Professional Edition. Is anyone else seeing this happening?
thank you.

Try opening Spybot start center,checkmark Advanced User Mode,click Settings(saying yes to the prompt from UAC,if applicable),then select the System Services tab.If you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark beside Scanner Service,and the button beside it says Start,click that button and see if Scanner Service will start.Also,make sure that Active after every reboot has a checkmark.Click Apply and OK.If anything happens that it won't start or you get an error,please post back.
