    Default Spybot seems to only can my account for spyware not the entire computer

    how can i have it scan all accounts? i scanned my bro and he had coolwwwsearch and another thing. my dad also had some things on his account. how can i have it scan for stuff on all accounts from mine. oh also i'm administrator on the computer and so is everyone else.

    The entire system is scanned for most malware. However, because of restrictions in the Microsoft APIs (Application Program Interfaces) used by Spybot, the scan from one account does not include the Internet cache, cookies and some other user specific entries of other accounts.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
