    I had a different partition with XP's "internet connection" meltdown (no internet connection at all) with the new Comodo version installed (my assumption based on Comodo not turning on/working).

    Now on this XP partition with "online Armor" not even a week old, the same meltdown occurred. And I repaired it in a similar way (I first had to uninstall IE7 as it was already installed on this XP partition).
    See https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=196969.

    The only two possible causes I can think of is the installation of Spybot on each of these XP partitions.

    I am wondering if Spybot is allergic to some firewalls or it takes time to adjust?

    Any connection or is it just a coincidence??

    I am wondering if others have had this problem or is it only a fluke to my set up?

    (Note: the other common connection is that both partitions are TI10 images (on DVD restored to different partitions) but this problem has not occurred until I tried out Spybot, so I am inclined to say that this is unrelated).

    Sorry to say this but SPybot is old and out dated. Use SuperAntiSpyware and Spyware Terminator.

    First, did you set SPybot to trusted in OA.
    Second, I would also agree that Spybot is not the best choice of AS

    Hi folks:

    To echo this: just look at SpyBot S&D's paidware clone: spy remover.

    Usually it will issue a new update whenever SpyBot releases a new data base updates. Now it has lost the drive to do so, why ? reason is very simple, and answer is right at Dieselman's post.

    Take care.
