When you clean malware from your machine with Spyware Doctor, it may determine that certain tasks need to be stopped as it deletes malware-related files from your system. Normally this process happens automatically. However, if you are paranoid about having tasks stopped without user-intervention, you can force Spyware Doctor to display a confirmation first before ending tasks.

1. Click the "Settings" button on the left side of the Spyware Doctor window.

2. Underneath "Pick a category", choose "General Settings".

3. Check "Ask for confirmation to kill a task".

4. Click the "Apply" button to apply your changes.
