Hello,

What kind of entry is that McAfee entry? What is found exactly?

You can exclude a product from the search as follows:
First of all procede a scan with Spybot - Search & Destroy. Now, mark the item, you want to exclude from the search, with a left-click.
It is marked blue now. Then right-click this entry and select "exclude this product from further searches".

It is also possible to exclude it before the search. Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Advanced Mode" and go to "Settings" -> "Ignore products". There you can tick the checkbox in front of the product you want to exclude from the search.

CDilla and SiteStep are listed to the ignore products by default.
Please see the following thread for more information:

* Why are CDilla & SideStep checked in Ignore Products?

Thanks for your response

The message is
McAfeeWindowsSecurityCenter.AntiVirusOveride

I am running a scan now so will see what it does this time having followed this procedure

I tried your other suggestion but couldn't find any reference to McAfee in the products listed.

The McAfee issue has been sorted. Thanks.

However the original problem remains.

In 'Settings'/'Ignore Cookies' I have a number of cookies checked to 'be ignored during the browser scan'.
However at the end of the run, the unchecked ones remain.
Is there a setting which I am missing to clear usage tracks ?

Incidentally, why did the McAfee message appear? I thought they were part of the ACS also. They appear on the ACS mambership list.

Hello,

You can also simply avoid all third party cookies by following the appropriate tutorial listed here (first three): http://www.safer-networking.org/flas.../overview.html

Spybot - Search & Destroy is detecting Windows Security Center associated with Microsoft Security Center Registry changes. This is neither a false positive nor a bug. It is just an information.
Spybot-S&D only wants to bring to your attention that "someone" disabled one or more notifications in the Windows Security Center, e.g. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date. If you changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot-S&D to exclude those detections from further scans.
In order to do so please right-click each in turn, then click "exclude this detection from future scans". That way, should any other part of security center settings change, Spybot-S&D will still detect those.
The same is true if you have another security solution installed (like McAfee Security Center or Norton Internet Security). These programs do also disable the Windows Security Center in order to take care of things themselves.
The reason why the changes are flagged by Spybot-S&D is that there are also malware programs that disable the notifications so the user doesn't take note of his security tools not being effective.
