Is this normal. I just upgraded from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 and I'm showing less immunizations (around 57,000) than I had before with version 1.5.1 (which had around 80,000). I understand that immunizations vary from machine to machine based on the number of user accounts and such, but my PC has only the admin account and I have made no other changes on the machine today aside from upgrading to the new version. Is this something to worry about? Or does Spybot compact some of the immunizations down with new versions? Sorry for the noob question, I did a search and didn't find an answer so hopefully someone can alleviate my concerns. Thanks in advance.

The immunization counts are lower because the latest release of Spybot (1.5.1.20) no longer immunizes in the following registry hives:
SYSTEM (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18)
LOCAL SERVICE (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19)
NETWORK SERVICE (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20)
