WHY IS MY COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW AFTER INSTALLING SPYBOTSD 2

This can be caused by Spybot’s Live Protection. This scans all programs before they begin to prevent any infections or threats from entering your system.

The advantage of this is it keeps your system free from virus or malware and other harmful threats. The downside is that Live Protection needs to scan all processes to keep your computer clean. This is able to cause your computer to open programs much slower.

Here is a way to disable Live Protection:

• Firstly, you have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
• After your computer has restarted, Live Protection should be disabled now.
• If you have another AV program with the real-time protection, you are able to disable it, or Spybot’s Live Protection as running both at the same time can cause them to conflict with each other.
