    Default Spybot starts when computer starts

    Despite what I think are the correct settings, Spybot launches each time I start my computer. I want SD Resident and Tea Timer to load, but I don't want the entire program screen popping up. I've tried changing the settings. Under Automation, System start has both No automation and Automatically Run Program both checked. How do I uncheck or is there another setting I'm missing. Thanks.

    Hello,

    Open Spybot in the advanced mode via the menu item mode, go to 'tools'->'System Startup'
    Then mark the following entry and remove it: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /autocheck

    If this does not help maybe this is due to the message during the scan "It is recommended that you reboot and scan again to find items that may be uncovered only after a reboot."

    Please download a new SpybotSD.exe file here.

    Also download a new advcheck.dll here.

    Move those two files: SpybotSD.exe and advcheck.dll to your program installation folder, and accept to replace the old ones.

    Best regards
