We need to temporarily disable Spybot search & Destroy`s tea time, as it may interfere with any fix we are trying to run.
Disable Spybot's TeaTimer. This is a two step process.
First:
- Right click Spybot in the System Tray (looks like a calendar with a padlock symbol)
- Choose
Exit Spybot S&D Resident
Second:
- Open Spybot S&D
- Click
Mode, check
Advanced Mode
- Go To Left Panel, Click
Tools, then also in left panel, click
Resident
- If your firewall raises a question, say
OK
- Uncheck the box labeled
Resident Tea-Timer and OK any prompts.
- Use
File, Exit to terminate Spybot
- Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.
