Remove Spybot context menu item to fix
Hi,
I'm also running Win 7 64-bit, and the Spybot context menu item is causing Windows Explorer to crash and restart.
You can easily remove it with this free tool: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
Once ShellExView is running, sort your list by "type" by clicking on the Type column. Then look for "Spybot-S&D Explorer Integration" in the "Context Menu" types. Select that line, then go to "File -> Disable Selected Items" (or press F7).
I am really enjoying Spybot so far, it has found so much junk! But it is resource intensive. I'm evaluating the Pro version so I can check my phone and the tablet my kids use.
Thanks, glad I found this thread.
