does spybot interfere with antivirus updates?

[nerdzilla]

I installed Spybot a few hours ago and ran a scan. Now I can't update Avira. Is there a connection? If so, how can I fix the problem?

Hello,

There should not be any problems with the compatibility.
If some parts would conflict, just those parts could be disabled.

That's the way to to disable the resident feature of Spybot - Search & Destroy: run Spybot-S&D, switch to the "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" --> hit "YES" --> select "Tools" in the navigation bar on the left --> "Resident" and there you can untick the check boxes in front of the two tools.
