Simple question, I hope.
I'm running Spybot 1.6 on XP Home with SP3 installed. Resident protection is enabled in Spybot.
I'm going to uninstall several programs and utilities which I no longer need. These uninstalls will of course make changes to system files and registry keys.
I want to avoid dealing with all of the popup warnings about system changes which I will get from Spybot after uninstalling these programs.
After running several forum searches, I gather that I should do the following before performing the uninstalls:
1. Exit resident protection via the system tray icon.
2. Perform the uninstalls.
3. Re-enable resident protection (or reboot, which will reload Spybot with resident protection enabled).
Is this correct? Please advise.
