Not detecting bugs
Hello,
I have Spybot 1.4.
I upload all updates, then I run a scan. I rarely find any bugs, and at the most only one. Next I run Ad-Aware and it usually finds between 20 and 30 infections. My privacy setting is set to medium in Internet Explorer.
Is this amount of detections normal?
Thank you.
What are the items found by Ad-Aware?
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.
Hello,
Please upgrade your program, version 1.5.2 is available!
Just install over the old version.
You can download the new version here:

Don't forget to update afterwards!
We hope you enjoy 1.5.2 even more than our previous releases!
Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" and select "Settings" --> "File Sets" in the left bar. There, please right-click somewhere into the list and choose "select all available checks".
If this does not help AdAware is probably only finding cookies. Please have a look at this link on our homepage:
Why do other anti-spyware applications detect so many more tracking cookies?
