Press windows key +R key so you can see run then type in run "devmgmt.msc" then press ok so you can see device manager uninstall all usb drivers then it automatic install usb drivers. then check. Also you need to change registry for that type in run "regedit" then press ok then you can see registry editor then locate below key.

Also locate the below key and make sure it's value is 3 not 4. HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\usbstor make sure start value is 3 not 4. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa

Follow the BELKIN instructions to run the "wireless network setup wizard", to create your own security-key & password.

If going to control panel and look for the program in "uninstall program", then try actually going to where the Webroot Spysweet is installed.

For example, and most likely, it is installed in C:\Program Files\Webroot Spysweep

AFter finding the folder, delete it and any other files related to this program.

Hope this helps!

uninstall unwanted software click start> control panel> Add/Remove programs

Delete junk files
1. Click run start> Run> type %temp%
2. Click run start> Run> type temp

Restart computer.

Hello,i have been reading your problem....This is simply because you have too many anti-virus programs running all at once.... I reccomend you remove the other 2 anti-virus software....

thanks for your question,
have a nice day....

well what I would suggest you is to go to control panel and then add/remove program and remove spy sweeper and restart the computer
Then reinstall spy sweeper and run the complete scan

Or

visit http://www.google-pack.co.cc click "get essential softwares ..." you get Free! Norton Security San and Spyware Doctor

then check the softwares you need; next is download after that on the next screen click help google.... and start download; then Run and after the downl id done run once again and let it install


This will remove all the spywares from the system and speed up your system

I am getting the same problem that others have stated, I get message that I have 4 critical shields off and will not allow me to turn them on, I CANNOT SWEEP OR OPEN THE ALERTS.

this sounds like spyware in the registery download any spyware removal tool and run this offline then run your antivirus program and see if this gets rid of the problem if this still exists then save all files and emails out and re-install operating system.

this is all I can give help with.

I have seen this problem a couple times. The only fix that seems to work is uninstalling Spysweeper and then reinstall it again. If you go to start>Programs>webroot you will see an uninstaller. Run that, reboot the computer, then reinstall again from your install disc.

put more ram in the laptop is the most economical solution at the moment, as it is so cheap.
your laptop can have 2 gig in total
other solutions that cost nothing

• remove all unwanted software off the hard drive.( to make room for virtual memory)
• empty recycle bin
• run anti spy-ware software
• defrag the hard drive
• set virtual memory to 2 times physical ram
• set performance settings to "adjust for best performance",go to device manager/advanced tab to do this
• go to start/run ,type "msconfig" go to start up tab and deselect any software not needed at boot up,
• leave anti virus,anti spy ware,and any firewall selected.
• when you reboot a box will open saying you have been in making changes ,put a tick in the box at top right so it does not show again.

hope this helps you
please rate my efforts if worthy
good luck
