Most registry cleaner software promises to speed up your system which is not really possible. This prevents keyloggers and other malware taking over control of Spybot, using the same security desktop separation technology that the Windows Login screen and the User Account Control dialogs use. When you choose the Protected Repair Environment, a new Windows Desktop is opened and the Start Center runs in a way so that other software cannot interact with it.

Using the Schedule option in Advanced Tools → Settings Spybot can create a Windows Scheduler task to keep your Spybot up to date, immunized and run system scans regularly. If you have purchased Spybot you have the advantage of being able to automate tasks. All paid editions of Spybot will download new signatures multiple times per day - automatically and in the background. Staying up to date with all malware signatures is essential for your security. This scan includes checks of the file system, the registry and some process related lists. The Rootkit Scan is a special scan that can locate these rootkits. Rootkits use technologies to hide themselves and their actions from users and other system processes. It can be useful if you suspect changes may have been made without your knowledge. This powerful tool should be used with caution as it allows you to make registry changes as well as other changes that effect your system. Clicking on a tab will allow you to inspect and change the behaviour of what is loaded. If you open this tool you will see a comprehensive set of tabs. Startup Tools allow you to manage what happens and what gets loaded at system startup. Immunization supports many popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. It also blocks tracking cookies and browser plugins that are known to contain malware. Immunization pro-actively protects your system against malware attacks by blocking access to sites known to contain malicious or unwanted software.
