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.
History no clean
- Thread starter wk357mag
- Start date
Pic1 - Shows Spybot after selecting ALL AVAILIBLE CHECKS, then allowing it to clean up, as I normally would.
Pic2 - Shows screen shot of HISTORY actually being still in folder.
Pic3 - BrowserCI shows that History is still present as well!
Pic4 - I than used Crap Cleaner to clean history and BrowserCI now shows history is gone!
This is repeatable everytime for me!!!

Guess I didnt answer this one.
In using the BrowserCI tool you linked me too. It will not CLEAN the history, but it will PURGE it just fine!
I should note, that the SB1.4 version always cleaned things just fine! I never specifically checked to see if it REALLY cleaned with any of the previouse beta's of 1.5.
I would also note that this current beta has BLANK pages in two spots.
Info and License --> License
info and License --> Credits
These two pages are blank now, but, they did exsist on last Beta

Hmmm... about the two pages: maybe the skin engine has broken something there as well. It just can't handle dynamic content very well, so I've thrown it out again for now. The License should come from Help\English.license.txt (which should be installed by default!), the credits list built from an internal tool.
Regarding the history, that's spooky, since I haven't changed the IE code (except for multiple-startpage-support)!
I should have asked for "purge", not "clean", right, since you were speaking about usage tracks, where it should get completely purged.
I'm a bit surprised now though, since I've just seen that Usage Tracks Browser History is currently disabled and wouldn't even show. So I kind of wonder how you saw them at all
If I enable Usage Tracks Browser History again, cleaning works as intended.
Going to look up now why it was disabled in the first place.
