Getting Congratulations Notice

[masonaries]

Just curious if anything has changed. Spybot S&D used to detect a bunch of stuff when I would run it. I haven't changed my surfing habits and now whenever I run it, it comes back with "Congratulations no threats detected." This makes me worry. Has anything changed in what S&D reports? Just curious.

No. What exactly did you used to detect?

No. What exactly did you used to detect?

Can't remember exactly but all sorts of stuff. Usually some kinds of Ad Trackers and other things.

masonaries:

Since you are trying to relate current scans with older scans, it may be helpful if you posted one of the results from an older scan where you were detecting the problems that you do not seem to be detecting now.

By default here are two Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log files produced during a scan. The second Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log has the details of what the scan found. A Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file is produced if you fix or attempt to fix something.

There are two methods to copy and post the information from previous scans:

• Method 1:
  
  • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Previous reports. Look for the Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file that contains the detections that you like help with. Open it. To copy it to the Clipboard, right click on the listing and select Select All > Right click again and select Copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of the Clipboard into a new post in this thread.
• Method 2
  
  • The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log files are stored in the following folders:
    
    • Windows 95 or 98:
      C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows ME:
      C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the correct Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file. Double click on it and it should open with Notepad. To copy it to the Clipboard, right click on the listing and select Select All > Right click again and select Copy. Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of the Clipboard into a new post in this thread.

Note: If the detections that you were getting in the past were all identified as an Internet Explorer "Tracking cookie", the most likely reason that you are no longer getting those detections is that you did one or more of the following:

1. Started using Spybot's immunization facility.
2. Enabled Spybot's resident SDHelper BHO facility.
3. Increased the security level within Internet Explorer to prevent the storing of third party cookies. See:
   
   • Why do other anti-spyware applications detect so many more tracking cookies?
