IE automatically closes Spybot's homepage

08-19-2004, 08:41 AM

I just got a friend's laptop here to test it a little. I decided to run a virus check before doing anything with the laptop.
Whenever I try to access the Spybot's Search & Destroy homepage to download their software the IE automatically closes that page. Any ideas why?

Sounds like spyware.

Something new. My guess would be a spyware maker added to his program to not let you get anything to take him out.

I'm guessing it deletes anything/everything that has the name spybot in it. Try renaming the file and see if that works.

I suggest that you download the Mozilla FireFox browser and use it to download your software.

Definitely sounds like some spyware is in control there. Thats typical behavior these days..

open task manager... check for strange running processes and end them. If you're not sure if a task is either eg. a mousedriver or spyware then ask google. When you end the spyware process you can access all websites again and download anti spyware tools.

If you are using XP just go back to an old backup. /system map/

After that install Firefox!

Then you haven't closed all spyware tasks. Be aware they hide very good. Like some spyware is listed as scvhost.exe while a win system process is called svchost.exe. Just try to shut down everything and double check the remaining stuff.
If it doesn't help have a look at your services too
