Spybot comes on at Logon, why? ritter197 12-06-2005

I have used various versions of Spybot Search and Destroy (free edition) and
never before did it come on aech time I start up the computer. It is
actually the Folder, which contains all the subfolders of Spybot. I just
have to close it each time.

I looked in my Start up folder and it is NOT there, so what causes this to
happen?

I am using this with Windows XP Pro.

Look in the program settings themselves and see if you have it set to start on
startup.

Your StartUp folder is only a minor part of Startup.
Look in Msconfig.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)

It may ask you to allow it to run at startup because it is unable to
do its business normally because there are proceses running.

download irun from

http://www.pcdisco.com/freeware.htm

and see if spybot is started from the registry

or from Spybot menu mode>advanced

then

tools>system startup

and remove spybot from the list if its there.

Gernerally I'm using adaware as it seemed to be better updated and
solved more problems.

In addition to other recommendations everyone may want to take a look at the
new version of Autoruns that is free from SysInternals as it now has several
categories to check startup processes and more. --- Steve
