• 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.

Please forgive me if this issue has already been posted. I couldn't find any with the search. I have several items that I have chossen to exclude from future scans Eg. Open with.
When I go to the place you can see what is listed and have the option to include it in future scans, nothing is listed there. Any ideas?

Version 1.52

XP SP2 Home edition
 
There are two (2) types of ignores in Spybot:
  1. Ignore single ("Exclude this detection from further searches") which ignores a particular detection within a Product.
  2. Ignore Product ("Exclude this product from further searches") with ignores all detections with the same product name.
If you used "Exclude this detection from further searches", go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Ignore single entries > select the item you want to reinstate > Right click > select "Remove this exclude from the list".

If you used "Exclude this product from further searches", go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Ignore products > locate the item that you excluded and uncheck it.
