Hello.
This is an informative article:
How Spybot-S&D protects against the installation of Spyware/Malware (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=281)
Open Spybot-S&D>Mode>Advanced>Tools>Resident.
Make sure Both Resident Protection boxes are checked.
Resident "Sd Helper"
Resident "Tea Timer.
Then if you don't want to receive popup warnings from Spybot's IE Resident: (most people choose not to)
Setting Spybot's IE Resident to "Block all pages silently":
Right click on resident icon in task tray >Mouse over Resident IE >Make sure "Block all pages silently" is ticked.
OR
Go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize.
Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer".
In the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" there are three options:
* Block all pages silently
* Display dialog when blocking
* Ask for blocking confirmation
Select "Block all pages silently".
Hope that helps. :)
The Resident SDHelper box will not allow me to check it. Any idean why?
