    Spybot will shortly be bringing out Spybot 2.5 for win 10, but 2.4 works fine anyway. If, like me, you have some passwords saved, spybot will remove them BUT, there is a solution:

    - Open Spybot by right clicking on the Spybot icon and choosing "Run as administrator".

    - Click "Advanced User Mode".

    - Go to "Settings" then go to the "Categories“ tab.

    - Here you can untick the checkboxes in front of:

    'tracks.sbi' , 'tracks.uti' and 'cookies.sbi'.

    - Click Apply and OK afterwards.

    :)

  2. Spybot keeps trying to reinstall itself. Help!

    Malacath,

    Are you was using Spybot – Search & Destroy 2. (released 09 Nov-12) OR Spybot 1.6.x. ?

    If Spybot 1.6.x.

    Was Spybot Resident Təa Timer enabled ??

    To be cləar, after the installation, never Spybot 1.6 + Təa Timer
    was installed. OK ?

    (Having uninstalled Spybot 1.6. without first fully disabling Spybot Təa Timer could be the cause of this behavior.)

    Windows 10 programs stop responding after a few minutes...

    Uninstall Soluto because it is no longer supported and may cause issues on Windows 10.

    Did you remove Spybot before upgrading to Windows 10, then reinstall it after the upgrade?

    What version of Spybot have you got?

    Spybot 2.5 is required for Windows 10.

    I suggest that you remove Spybot, restart, then reinstall the latest version. However take a look at the instructions from Niall2 in this thread as there is a procedure to follow.

    Post Win10 Spybot-install

    If you have issues doing this then I suggest you contact Spybot support.
