I got a pm that probably hits the nail on the head. There's a good chance you have been hit with a anti-spyware trojan killer. "CWShredder or HijackThis closes immediately after opening? There is a variant of the Coolwebsearch trojan spreading that closes several anti-spyware apps when you try to open them. If this is happening to you, download PepiMK's CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal tool ( safer-networking.org ) first and run it. After it does its job, CWShredder and HijackThis will run properly (as well Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and several anti-spyware forums)." spywareinfo.com
