In the case you are using another antivirus program that contains Live Protection, real-time Protection or some equivalent, this could be conflicting with Spybot’s Live Protection.
To avoid conflicts that might arise in this case, please disable the Live Protection on either Spybot or your other antivirus program.
Please see the link below for info on the dangers of running more than one form of real time protection:
