hi...ok im retarded. i looked up how to turn things off - i have spy bot, tea timer to turn off is easy enough, but the directions for avast were wrong - out of date maybe? anyway right clicking on the icon doesn't give you an option to stop on access protection, also mine is orange not the old blue one, so i think that direction is out of date. i thought it might be faster just to un-install them right before i run the combo-fix, but i dint know if that would screw up what ever youll be looking for. do you know how to "turn off" malwarebytes and avast? or would you rather i just uninstall them then get them back after?
