If I try to open above mentioned programs the process starts again. ther are no option buttons or anything on the window only a close but and the "X" in the upper right hand corner.

any help?

Hello,

To disable the single files scan please open the registry editor by:
(a)
press windowskey + r then enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
or
(b)
click on "start" , then "run" and enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)

(a+b)
and then browse to the following path.

Please delete the following registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles

For more information, please have a look at this thread (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=30678) in our forum.
