Superchip question, please help

Ok I haven't posted or asked anything for awhile, guess I've been busy under the EX, just put on the hellwig rear bar, new rancho's, both of the front ball joints, and now I was wondering I had a superchip plugged into my truck 7.3 and it was unlocked, downloaded a program fine and then the truck wouldn't start, went back to stock and still wouldn't turn over, ran the test and it said anti theft device, cleared the code and started fine. Is this a common problem or if downloaded properly will it not happen? Kinda confused about getting one now. Thanks.
