am I gonna have to uninstall Spybot?

[Mysenthrope]

I'm tired of the several update services and whatever else, always running in the background and using up memory. Normally wouldn't be an issue, but a couple of my games are memory hogs.

I try to turn them off via task manager, but they keep starting up.

ps. I also unchecked Spybot under msconfig, and stopped/disabled all Spybot related processes under services -- did nothing; they still run in the background upon startup

Anyone wanna tell me how to stop this, or should I just uninstall Spybot?

Hello Mysenthrope,

Best regards.

Could you update to version 2.1 please. http://www.safer-networking.org/private/details/

Well, the interface looks like the old Spybot, which is nice, but it still runs stuff in the background that apparently can't be turned off, no matter what I do.

Will be uninstalling.
