Stop scanning certain file types, how do I do it?

I've had spybot S&D for quite a while, and I really like it, but I recently redid my computer with a clean slate, and when I reinstalled it, it's doing something really annoying.
Every time I open up an mp3 file, midi file, files like that, it scans it, and afterwards, it doesn't even let me listen to it.

How do I disable spybot from scanning specific file types?
 
I still don't really get how to disable it after I read it, I got to the point where I downloaded a zip file with
"Enable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.reg"
and "Disable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.reg" but I don't know where to put it or if it really pertains to my problem.

I just don't want it to scan when I open certain files, will this work? If so, how do I go about doing it?
 
AngilasGuy:

After you have downloaded the Enable+Disable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.zip file:
  • Extract (unzip) the content of the Enable+Disable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.zip file.
  • You should now have two .reg files:
    • Disable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.reg
    • Enable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.reg
  • Double click on the Disable Spybot-S&D Context Menu Entry.reg file.
  • Answer Yes then OK
 
Alright, that seemed to stop it from asking every time.
I have a new problem, not really related to spybot, but when I double-click a file, it ALWAYS asks me what program I want to use for it, even when I check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box. Over and over.

I don't expect anyone to know this, since it is a little off-topic, but if they do, any help?
