I also run Spyware Blaster and Spybot S+D. Now suddenly my Antivirus refuses to scan- It crashes when I tell it to perform a whole scan, or even scan a specific target. The Company website asks me to uninstall and reinstall the AV before contacting them, so I did, with the same results. Finally I sent an a-mail, and the company asked me to run a diagnostic and send in the results, which I did. Their advice was to remove 3 programs from my computer, the two listed above, and one called "SpamAssassin," which I wasn't aware was even ON my system. The SpamAssassin appears to be stored ONLY in folders from my AV provider. 1) How could Spybot S&D interfere with the scanning engine of my AV? 2) Is SpamAssassin legitimate software? 3) Why is it embedded within my AV folders, if it is? Any ideas? vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
