no recovery files

[raj118]

Hi. I opened my "Recovery" tab in Spybot S&D and there were no files there to recover. I have been deleting cookies with Spybot but there were no cookies to recover. I do not use System Restore on my computer. I use Norton's Ghost program. My version of Spybot is 1.4.

Maybe cookies are not saved for restoring? In my setting preferences, everything is checked except the System Restore options.

I haven't needed to recover anything yet.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Spybot does not create recovery files for "Tracking cookies" and some other minor items. The storing of other recovery files is controlled by settings within Spybot that are normally checked by default (which you seem to have discovered).

Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings, scroll down to Main settings and verify that the following three items are checked:
Main settings
□ …
■ Create backups of fixed spyware problems for easy recovery
■ Create backups of removed usage tracks for easy recovery
■ Create backups of fixed system internal problems for easy recovery
□ …

Thanks for the information. My settings are set just as you described them.
