Disable Live protection on Spybot v. 2.9

I just installed v2.9, and I need to disable the Live Protection (it conflicts with my anti-virus). When I click on "protection status" in the Start Center, I'm taken to the Immunization section. When I bring up the Settings, the "Live Protection" tab does not appear. How do I disable the Live Protection?
 
Hello Roger Blair,

Have you tried this:


  • Open Spybot by right-clicking on the Spybot icon and choosing the option to Run as Administrator.
  • In the Start Center, click on Show Details then click on Advanced User Mode.
  • Click on Settings then go to the Live Protection tab.
  • Untick the checkbox for Scan programs before they start.
  • Click Apply and OK, and restart Spybot for your changes to take effect.

There is also a button for Show Live Protection advanced controls on this page. If you click this button you will see two options. You can choose either of these:

  1. Uninstall Live Protection (this may require you to reboot)
  2. Deactivate Live Protection

tashi, I'm using the free version, so I'm not seeing a "Live Protection" tab. Also, Spybot is interfering with my AV (Microsoft Defender). How do I prevent that? BTW, I've used Spybot for a long time, and this is the first time I haven't been able to keep it from interfering with MD. What (other than uninstalling Spybot) can I do to resolve the problem?
 
Hello Roger Blair,

The Spybot free version does not include an anti-virus or Live Protection so I am not sure where the issue you are experiencing lies.

Please see "Is it possible to run Spybot and Windows Defender?"

tashi, someone directed me to the site's instructions for disabling the integration service. However, I cannot clear the checkbox by "Activate after every reboot". Every time I clear the box, it rests. How do I clear that box for good?

Someone not in this thread? After following the instructions you rebooted and still face the same issue?

Please open a support ticket here

Best regards. :)

When I click Settings nothing happens. At this point all I can do is uninstall SpyBot, unless there's another way to disable Live Protection.
