Problem with Spywarebalster after v4.4 upgrade

Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble since installing the latest version (4.4) - it won't run/open (even when I try to 'run as administrator'). After clicking the desktop shortcut, I get the UAC permission window, but, when clicking 'Continue' - nothing happens (other than a quick flicker of the HDD light)! :o

 

I've uninstalled and done a clean install of both version 4.3 and 4.4 - problem still exists! Looked here:- http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=285220 and other people are obviously experiencing similar problems - but no solution has yet been found.

 

I am running:

 

Vista Home Basic 32bit SP2,

 

Windows Firewall

 

Microsoft Security Essentials,

 

Malwarebytes v1.46 (Realtime protection NOT enabled),

 

Spywareblaster v4.4

 

Ccleaner v3.00.1303

 

No new software installed - just upgrades (AdobeAIR/Mozilla Firefox v3.6.12 & Thunderbird v3.1/Windows Updates

 

First noticed inability to open Spywareblaster on 29/10/2010.

 

If it helps here are the programs that run at startup:

 

Yes HKCU:Run ShowBatteryBar "C:\Program Files\BatteryBar\ShowBatteryBar.exe" show

Yes HKCU:Run Google Update "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c

Yes HKLM:Run hpWirelessAssistant C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Wireless Assistant\HPWAMain.exe
