Hello!
I wasn't able to find the answer to my problem in any related threads found in my search or in your auto-search when posting a new thread, Sorry.
I'm new at this so my difficulty may be due to a misunderstanding of how things work.
I have a partitioned hard drive and several mobile drives attached to my pc. I wanted Spybot to scan them all. Only my C drive has WinXP installed.
I right clicked on the icon in my tray to type in "/Allhives". What I get is a pop-up list of functions, not a command line, so I can't do it.
1. Am I right clicking on the wrong thing? Is a tray shortcut different from a link/icon? If it is, what and where is the link/icon?
2. Will Spybot scan other drives where Windows isn't installed?
3. Is there any point to scanning such drives for spyware and usage tracks? Do these things only infect drives in which windows is installed?
4. If it makes sense to scan these other drives, how can I set up my Spybot to do this?
I hope I'm not looking too duh today. My thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.
