    Default Running spybot before windows fully boots

    I have noticed that sometimes there is a need to run spybot again after doing a full scan due to malware being already loaded into the computers memory. I was wondering if there is a way to just initiate that type of scanning without having to do a normal scan with spybot first. It seems to run faster in that mode and would save me from having to do it twice. Thanks for any help!

    To run Spybot the next time you reboot.
    • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > look for "System start" (located half way down the page).
    • Check the option: "Run program once at next system startup".

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
