How can I disable the file scanner?

[k_j_evans]

When I try to install Microsoft programs/updates with a .msi extension or patches with a .msp extension, Spybot insists on scanning them an dthen they won't install. I have to unregister the Spybot dlls or uninstall it to install the software (which means logging in as administrator etc). How can I set a trusted location or just disable this behaviour completely? I don't have Tea Timer turned on.

Thanks

If you have an .msi file or .msp file somewhere on your computer,rightclick it,then select Properties.What does it say beside Opens With?
Also,could you please let me know what operating system you have?

Hello,

To disable the single files scan please open the registry editor by:
(a)
press windowskey + r then enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)
or
(b)
click on "start" , then "run" and enter "regedit" (without quotation marks)

(a+b)
and then browse to the following path.

Please delete the following registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\sdfiles
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\sdfiles

For more information, please take a look into our forum.
