hello,

How do you turn off "real time protection"
on Spybot S&D so it does not conflict with
other spyware detection programs real time protection.

Any problem in doing this?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Thanks.

There are two (2) types of "real time protection" offered by Spybot.

Resident "SD helper", which is also known as "Browser Helper to block bad downloads", "Spybot's-SD Resident" and "Resident IE" (depending on which Spybot S&D panel you may be on or how it is identified in the system tray icon). This is an active protection. It is a BHO (Browser Helper Object) that blocks the download of bad (malicious) files. There are three selectable modes that this can operate in: (1) Block all pages silently (2) Display dialog when blocking (3) Ask for blocking confirmation.

Resident "TeaTimer" which is an active protection that monitors changes to certain system Registry keys such as System Startup, ActiveX Distribution Unit, Browser page and Browser Helper Object, etc. When any change is detected to these Registry keys a pop-up dialog is issued asking you to allow or deny the change and if you want TeaTimer to remember the decision. TeaTimer also monitors processes that are initiated in the system. If the process being initiated matches a list of processes in Spybot's detection files, the process is terminated and a dialog is issued to notify you and allow you to make choices as to how to handle the same process during future detections.

The activation/deactivation of both if these protections can be accomplished by: Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident
Checking/Unchecking either/both of the following:
Resident "SDHelper" (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active
Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active.
