Hey all,

I've been using Vista and Spybot for awhile. I finally have the time to explore this issue in greater depth.

I'm currently using Spybot to search for malware. Of the 30 times that I've scanned my computer, my computer has come up clean ALL 30 times.

Other malware software I use -->

Norton Antivirus Corporate
Adaware
Spybot
Windows Defender (Disabled)
Windows Firewall


I use NOTHING else. Everytime I run Windows Defender, my computer comes up completely clean also.

This is a good thing, but I'm not use to it. When I ran XP, I find stuff that needs to be removed.

Am I missing something here?

Hello,

Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" and select "Settings" --> "File Sets" in the left bar. There, please right-click somewhere into the list and choose "select all available checks".
If still nothing is found you have probably activated the resident protection of Spybot - Search & Destroy that is blocking the baddies from getting into your system.

Best regards
