Switching Spybot off and on

[ronin4]

Hi I reformatted my drive and when I reinstalled Spybot I started getting all these messages about bad urls everytime I went online. The thing is I thought it I didnt Immunize then Spybot was off, until you clicked its icon on the desktop.
How do I turn it off? I just want to switch it on for one scan a week and then switch it completely off until the following week, like I did before reformattting :(

Hello,

The resident feature runs also if you have your Spybot not opened.

You only need to disable the resident feature of Spybot - Search & Destroy.
That´s the way to deactivate it: run Spybot-S&D, switch to the "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" --> hit "YES" --> select "Tools" in the navigation bar on the left --> "Resident" and there you can untick the checkboxes in front of the two tools.

But warning! Then you won't have resident protection!

Best regards
