Information about Spybot's Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log files:
- By default here are two Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log files produced during a scan. The second Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log file has the details of what the scan found (and the information about the version and update level). A Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm log is produced if you fix or attempt to fix something (it also containes the information about the version and update level).
- There are two methods to view Spybot's Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log files:
- Method 1:
- Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Pervious reports. Look for the Checks.yymmdd-hhmm or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm you are interested in. Highlight it (left click) then select Open.
- Method 2
- The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log files are stored in the following folders:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs- Windows ME:
