Computer help
Recently I've installed Service Pack 3 like Windows Update suggested and since then every day when I start my laptop I would get this message from Spyboot - Search & Destroy.
I have no idea what this is what to do, so I would be very thankful if somebody can help me. What should I do?
Thanks.

I got that same Spybot window a few times and I just hit the "ALLOW CHANGE'' button.
But that's me.
Do you have Spybot-Search & Destroy (spyware removal software) installed on your computer?

Red Star, do you normally Allow or Deny the change? Does either option seem to affect the way your machine runs?
Personally I'd click the "Remember This Decision" box and then deny or allow the change depending on what you feel comfortable doing.
If all else fails you could remove Spybot, from the ADD/REMOVE programs list. Once sbybot is uninstalled you could down load the newest version and install that. Perhaps a newer version would have the "bugs" fixed.

I usually close Spyboot before it can do anything. I'm only using it when I need to scan everything.
But this time this message pop ups as soon as I open Spyboot so I can't close it before it shows me this pop up.

It looks like a Windows process that should be allowed..
I wouldn't worry about it just allow it and remember the choice..
Here is some info from Microsoft...

Remember the choice and put it on your white list. Then you probably will not get the pop up, it will just do it automatically.
