Thanks mntom but still not working
I cannot get setting to open at all to do as you suggest - as well as the fact i cant open settings and that scans freeze on the whole zlob codec, i cant turn Internet Protection either - spybot seems seriously broke. Started a ticket lets hope the boffins can fix it (interestingly enough nothing seems wrong with my machine or windows if i uninstall Spybot and it runs fast but soon as i reinstall Spybot - the only thing detecting and freezing on the zlob thing, my machine boots up dead slow and has issues - i'm starting to suspect the problem is SPYBOT itself!!!)
