    Default stop start up scan

    I just upgraded to SpyBot 2.1. How do I stop SpyBot from running a scan when my computer starts up?

    Hello weathergirl,

    Go to the Spybot 2 folder, by default:
    Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Spybot – Search & Destroy 2
    Windows Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 8: C:\Programs (x86)\Spybot – Search & Destroy 2
    and open the SDCleaner.exe.

    Here you can uncheck the checkbox in front of “Run cleaner on system startup”.

    Best regards.
