 * Hi guibalg,
 * I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing and I’ll be happy to help.
 * If you haven’t had a chance to yet, please take a few minutes to work through
   the [Troubleshooting Guide](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/#wpss_troubleshooting)
   and [FAQs](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/#wpss_faqs),
   as these solve 90% of issues users have.
 * Also, have you checked the plugin requirements to make sure your site meets the
   minimum? The minimum plugin requirement is PHP 5.3. Anything less than that will
   cause the plugin to deactivate.
 * Here’s [full info on the plugin requirements](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/#wpss_requirements)
   and why we no longer support PHP 5.2, and why people should upgrade.
 * If those don’t solve the issue for you, we’ll need a bit more info from you on
   the specifics, and we’ll need to email back and forth, so please head over to
   the [WP-SpamShield Support Form](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/support/),
   and take a moment to fill out a support request. That will allow us to take care
   of this as quickly as possible for you (and anyone else who is experiencing the
   same issue).
 * – Scott
