• 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.

Version 1.6 blacklist problem

W

New member
I have just installed 1.6.

The resident part then started scanning my system. One of the messages that flashed past through a balloon indicated that it objected to one of my normal applications. It said something to the effect that it had blacklisted the process or application. Unfortunately the messages were flashing through that quickly that I couldn't take it all in!

How do I find out about this process that it seems to have blacklisted and what do I need to do to correct this problem?
 
warthog:

The information about what process was blacklisted should be in the Resident.log. There are several ways (4 listed below) to access the TeaTimer's Resident.log file:
  1. Right click on the TeaTimer (Spybot-SD Resident) system tray icon and select Show Log.
  2. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
  3. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Previous reports. Select the Resident.log file and open it.
  4. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Resident.log file located in one of the following directories:
    • Windows 95 or 98:
      C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows ME:
      C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows Vista:
      C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
