    Yes. I downloaded Spyware Blaster 3.0 yesterday and am having the same problem. I have had Spybot Search and Destroy for over a month and never got the above message. I know that it is caused by Spyware Blaster 3.0 because I clicked the "disable all protection" button on the Spyware blaster 3.0 screen and the "mainauto-mation server" message stopped showing up. When I clicked the "activate all protection" button the message started reappearing. So it is definitly caused by the Spyware Blaster 3.0. I did have the previous version of Spyware blaster and did not have this problem. Noone has answered by post yet so I can't tell you how to correct this problem except to disable or remove Spywareblaster 3.0.

    No problem here on XP with either IE or Firefox 8, but perhaps it would be helpful if you also mentioned what OS (and browser) you are using, just in case there's a pattern.

    Hi,

    This error is probably caused by the presence of a spyware/adware/browser hijacker component on your machine. (SpywareBlaster is blocking it, but IE doesn't expect that action.)

    If you follow the instructions here, someone will be able to take a look at your log and see if that's the issue. :)

    Best regards,

    I am running Windows 98se and IE 6.0. As I said before no problems until I installed Spywareblaster 3.0

    I am unbelievably ignorant on how to use this site. When I click 'here' I just end up at a previous page.(?) I have deleted Spywareblaster 3.0 and downloaded 3.1 and I still get the same irritating message "main automations server can't create object." In apples and oranges terms how do I find out what is causing this and stop it from happening? I am running Windows 98se with IE 6.0.

    Hi puterbed1 :)

    I fixed the link u are trying to get too.

    Some of the links from the old YaBB board have to be manually fixed over here on the new board. ;)

    The link will work for u now. :)
