When I select Advanced mode I get a warning that some settings "can do harm to your system if you are not sure what you are doing. Do you really want to switch to Advanced mode?"
This seems quite normal to me. But someone has suggested to me that this is the work of a Trojan attempting to block Spybot. Is this true? I'm new to Spybot. (using 1.4)
Thanks

No,it's normal to get that warning from Spybot when switching to advanced mode.

Thank you. I thought so: it would be a very polite Trojan!

Although it is not some sort of "Trojan", please be aware that the warning is significant. Please don't ignore it!!!

Warning

The advanced mode of Spybot-S&D offers more options than the default mode; but those also include some that can do harm to your system if you are not sure what you are doing. Do you really want to switch to advanced mode?

[Yes] [No]
Be aware that extreme care should be used in utilizing certain options in Spybot's "Advanced Mode".
