View Full Version : Spybot runs too Quick

Hi, Can anyone advise. If I try to run a scan, it ends within only a few seconds, saying "Congratulations - No immediate threats were found". Which is fine, but it couldn't have completed a scan in that shorter time? It does mention something about a tracking cookie & a bookmark as it runs through the quick scan (only takes about 5 seconds)?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Bill.

Please try this,and see if it helps.Open Spybot,click mode up top,then Advanced Mode,then over to the left click Settings,then File Sets.Rightclick somewhere in the window to the right and select Spyware check only(or 'Select all available checks',if you prefer to scan for Spyware and tracks.)

Hi

Many thanks for your reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you (I havn't been able to use my laptop for a week or so).

You were right. When I checked, nothing was checked (don't know how that happen?).

Now runs ok.

Many Thanks again, Bill.
