Counterspy question

netscape · 07-25-2008, 01:27 PM

I just installed the latest version of Counterspy (Version: 2.5.1043), and so far it seems pretty good. However, it is now set up to automatically scan my computer every time I start my computer, before getting to the XP login screen, which is annoying because the scan takes awhile. I didn't see an option to turn this off from the program. I even went into msconfig and disabled an entry from the list of startup programs that I "thought" was responsible for this ("rebootscan" or something along that line), but still didn't work.

Does anyone know how to turn the scan off?

those guys over at sunbelt know their stuff. i can't imagine in the competitive world of antispywares, that they would conceal such an important option, or not have one at all.
i have to ask this, just to be positive, but did you click apply>ok when you unchecked the box in the startup list? is there a running service in the system config that may need to be unchecked as well?
