Can't stop SB from opening?

[radiocycle]

Hi All,
I love Spy Bot but the last time I ran it to try and fix Smitfraud (SB couldn't remove it) it asked if it could scan again at start-up. NOW however, I can't stop it from trying to run a scan EVERY TIME I turn on my computer. How do I get it to stop popping up every morning??? Is it this Smitfraud-C thing that I've contracted?? Thanks for any replies,
radio

radiocycle:

When you allow Spybot to run once at next system startup, the following "RunOnce" startup entry is added to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"SpybotSnD"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Spybot - Search & Destroy\\SpybotSD.exe\""

"RunOnce" startup entries are automatically deleted when the program they start completes. The only thing that I can think of the would cause the problem you are describing is that the registry entry is not being deleted.

Are you running TeaTimer and getting a TeaTimer dialog message when you exit Spybot after it automatically started? The dialog would look like:

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Spybot - Search & Destroy has detected an important registry entry that has been changed.

Category: System Startup global entry
Change: Value deleted
Entry: SpybotSnD
Old data: "C:\Piogiam Files\Spybot - Search _Deslroy\SpybotSD.exe"
New data:

You must allow that change so the the registry entry is deleted.
