Why does bot-ckeck jump from 29800 to 34177?

[rodrigo_slz]

Hi,
I am running S&D 1.4 and would like to know if there is any problem with search machine while checking for problems because bot-check always jumps from 29800 to the last registered bot item.
Best regards.

During the running of a Spybot scan ("Check for problems") the status bar shows the following:
"Running bot-check(xxxxx/yyyyy:zzzzzz)" where:
xxxxx = Current check count
yyyyy = Total check count
zzzzz = Malware being checked for
It has been noted on various occasions that the xxxxx value in the status appears to skip approximately 4000 checks right near the end.

It appears that these skipped checks are only used when a directory is added to the "Advanced mode > Settings > Directories" feature. If you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Directories and add a directory, Spybot no longer appears to skip these checks. Instead it appears to rapidly process (possibly load) those checks and then spends a considerable amount of extra time before the zzzzz portion of the status changes from "ZWax" (during full scans) to these checks: "Internet Explorer – various - Tracking Cookie" followed by "Internet Explorer – username - Bookmark".

Caution: Don't go adding items to the Directories feature just to make Spybot process those checks. It must be noted that the "Directories" feature is an "Advanced mode" feature and has a specific purpose. Before considering adding items to the "Directories" feature make sure that you understand what the feature is used for. Read the notes on the "Directories" facility screen, the help facility comments about the feature as well as the following so that you understand the purpose and the pitfalls:
