SpyDLLRemover causes system reboot.

I downloaded SpyDLLRemover and installed it through portable apps suite, it caused my system to reboot when I tried to start it. I thought maybe because I had many programs and threads/process running, but after the reboot I tried to run it again the same thing happened. No error message popped up. Is there anyway to find out the source of this problem?

Firewall

The only other time we saw SpyDLLRemover use end in a crash was due to a malfunctioning software firewall. It doesn't interfere with the standard Windows Firewall. Nor with others. I think it was just PC Tools that has the issue. Do you have a software firewall running?

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Re: Firewall

I do not have a third-party firewall program running. The only other security-type programs are clamwin anti-virus and spybot S&D.

Tea-Timer?

Are you using Spybot's Tea-Timer module? If so try disabling this then run SpyDLLRemover. Though Tea-Timer is a very good feature in theory it still needs a bit of work in my opinion.

With that said I'm looking forward to Spybot Portable as they have already given permission for it *hint hint* devs Blum

No problems with PCTools Firewall

Hi John, I downloaded the final release this morning & it works fine with the PCTools Firewall - no conflicts at all - it was only the test release that I had the problem with.

Me Too

Same thing happened to me at work. We use McAfee, no software firewall. No Tea-Timer. Seems no harm done (better than BSOD), but I didn't try again.
