Is there any way in which the Real Time Protection can be disabled so that it does not load automatically every time windows boots up. I find that it slows the loading of my programs dramatically and I have to disable it from the task bar icon. It is then only disabled until the next boot up. Not a real problem but just annoying.
I am running XP sp3 and NOD32. Malwarebytes v1.27.

Hi dpurser,
click on protection tab, then unckeck "start with Windows"

I hope you'll be able to undertstand my poor english

Many thanks.
As it is shown under "General Settings", I had assumed that meant start Malwarebytes with windows, not just the protection.
I think the wording is poor and the general appearance of the program could be improved. It wuld also help if the taskbar icon changed a little when acticve protection is disabled. However the scanning and updating is very good.
I have also noticed that if the active protection is enabled, some programs will not start at all, including Roboform. I assume that this is a conflict between NOD32 and Malwarebytes. I therefore use Malwarebytes as a scheduled daily scanner.

This will be fixed in the next version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware .. a much faster protection module .

Thanks RubbeR DuckY. I look forwards to the new version.

I have tried unchecking the "Start with Windows" in Protection - General settings, but it makes no difference.
What is it meant to start? The program, the protection or the scheduler.
Also what is the "Start with windows" do when right clicking on the task bar icon?

I also find that the "Help" button does not work, so have to ask questions on the forum.
