Stocker360 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hello, It seems Spybot 1.6.2 is causing massive problems with IE 8 final on Windows XP SP3 machines. Vista SP1 appears to be unaffected. If you do a complete spybot immunize it causes massive problems for not just IE 8, but all applications, so it seems. Please See: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...0-0d5a0c6bb0fe Notice an IE MVP has replied and stated that reports are coming in about this, so I'm not alone. In my case though, on all 3 computers I have tried this on, every single problem was caused because of spybot immunize only. Spyware blaster continues to work just fine. But mainly it causes IE 8 to use 100% CPU for about 5 minutes when starting it. Same with trying to load the windows control panel and many applications. If you try and download a file in firefox for example it too freezes because it starts using 100% CPU. So if you undo spybot immunize then no more problem. By the way IE 8 RC 1 does not have this problem. Thank You, Will Safer Networking Forums - http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=298983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I haven't run Spybot S&D for ages so I'm not worried. "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
