Hello,
Go to your desktop and double click on the "Spybot-S&D Start Center".
Now activate the "Experienced User Mode" at top by ticking the checkbox.
In the area "Settings & More Tools" please click on "Services".
Now stop the "On-Access Monitor" by ticking the "Stop" button.
Close the "Spybot - Search & Destroy Services" window.
Best regards

Sandra,
Thanks for your reply.
I used the Right Click on the system tray to open the Services window in the WinXP Pro SP3 admin account. I then disabled all SpyBot S&D services. This worked even when logging off and entering other Windows user accounts. However, on Windows restart, all those services came back up. SpyBot S&D is set as Experienced User for those accounts that I use personally.
Yesterday afternoon, after using the Right Click scan from Windows Explorer, first with SpyBot S&D 1.6.2 and then with Beta 2.0.3, Windows Explorer had errors. When those cleared, Windows then hung on shutdown when attempting a restart. On hard restart, Windows did come up successfully. I then uninstalled Beta 2.0.3. All that was left was a few files in the install directory. There are likely registry entries, but at some point in the future, I'll try SpyBot S&D again. Perhaps with a more mature beta or pre-release.
