Spybot 1.6 questions
How do I remove the "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy" right-click menu thing and how do I keep it from saying "We have located 657 temporary files... Scan speed will increase if you allow us to clean your temporary folder. Dou (should be Do) you want Spybot-S&D to do this for you?" when I start Spybot? What are the temporary files Spybot are reffering to, Temporary Internet Files?

Is the "... right-click menu thing ..." you are talking about in the Windows Explorer's right click context menu?Originally Posted by gopackgo

I went to help him out.......
and I as well see no option in the settings of spybot, the only place i see to make it not show in the right click menu is during the install of spybot. So md spybot fan, can you tell me too where that option is located so I know for the future? thanks. =]

That is correct:
During the installation of Spybot, a "Select Components" screen is presented that allows you to select "Which components should be installed". The screen presents the following options:
- □ Main files
- ■ Icons for starting blind user mode
- ■ Additional languages
- ■ Skins to change appearance
- ■ Download updates immediately
- ■ Separate Secure Shredder application
- ■ Explorer file scan plugin (in file context menu)
The following option (selected by default) controls whether or not Spybot's scan option will be added to Windows Explorer's right click context menu:
- ■ Explorer file scan plugin (in file context menu)
Since I did not personally install the option and therefore the components are not in place on my system, I am not in a position to tell you how to disable the option. Normally if you unregister the dll associated context menu item it will eliminate the option from the context menu. However, since I did not install the option I do not have a registered dll to unregister to try it.

So there is no way to disable it within Spybot? What dll do I have to unregister?

What does "Download updates immediately" mean?
Also, what does the following mean?
#1- Install Security Center Integration
#2- Activate Security Center Integration

It's reffering to temporary files folder (Temp). The folder is located in:
Win 95/98/ME : C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
Win NT : C:\WINNT\TEMP (I'm not quite sure is this the real path)
Win XP/2000 : C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Temp
