• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Exclude from Search box "greyed out"

Hi everyone,

I'm new here so forgive me if this is a known topic.

I am unable to exclude any search results because, when I "right click" on the object, the line "Exclude From Future Searches" is unavailable. Anyone come across this?
 
If you want to exclude the item from future detections:
  • Expand the detection if necessary (+ to the left of the detection).
  • Select the item (entry) that you want to exclude by left clicking on it to highlight it.
  • Then right click on highlighted detection.
  • Select from the list of options in the menu.
In other words left click to select then right click to display options. If you don't select (highlight) the item first the options menu is for the entire detection list.
 
Thanks MD. That's cracked it for me. I wasn't expanding the item before trying to exclude it.

I identify closely with your footnote about learning. Been shuffling around this mortal coil long time and learning is one thing but ......... at my age remembering is quite another:red:

Thanks again.
