• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

I have just purchased Spybot Search & Destroy 2.2 Home addition. I have read on the site that the AV can be disabled but how do I do that? I have looked at settings and couldn't see anything obvious.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
 
If you open Spybot start center,checkmark advanced mode,click Settings(saying Yes to UAC,if applicable),click the Live Protection tab,then you click Show Live Protection Advanced Control,you can see two options to deactivate Live Protection,or uninstall Live Protection. :)
