Everytime I start my computer, super-anti-spyware pops up asking me to configure it. If I don't (i.e. if I hit cancel) it goes to the program anyway, if I do it asks again next time I restart. Any ideas what could be causing it?
Running Vista Home Premeium 64-bit, by the way.

one remove that program
it conside spyware by more creditable programs -
Download a Spybot- search & destroy software and scan your system.
-
As to the problem itself, I've never heard of it before. Has it always acted like this? If it has, where did you download it? -
To post #2 and #3: SAS is the best on demand scanner out there right now. It isn't considered spyware...and Spybot is horrible now.
To OP: Go to preferences and uncheck run at startup. I'd reinstall first from their actual website or filehippo. Also, what exactly is it asking you to configure? -
It's the setup screen that comes up whenever you install it the first time. It basically loses it's memeory each time the computer restarts. I'll try the uninstall/re-download/reinstall route and let you know.
Edit: Or maybe I'll swith to malwarebytes? Yes/no? -
MBAM is good, but SAS is better. I use them both though as on demand scanners.

Didn't get the chance to re-install last ngiht (the missus has a new laptop and I was helping her set that up). Will try again tonight!
-
Lol, takes like 3 mins to uninstall and reinstall.
-
Yeah, but one job at a time!
Later: The good old 'take it out and put it back' (or uninstall/clean/reinstall') seems to have woorked so far. Cheers guys! -

Glad to hear it!
I run SAS on my two comps and it works brilliantly
Nothing is worse than an AV or Anti-Spyware program that is more annoying or more of a resource hog than the thing it's trying to remove
