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.

If you haven't exited Spybot since downloading the updates,try closing Spybot,then restarting Spybot.
If that doesn't work,try clicking mode at the top of Spybot,then advanced mode,then go to settings->file sets.If there are a bunch of things unchecked in file sets,then:
a.If you only want to scan for Spyware,rightclick an empty area in the filesets window,and select Spyware check only.
or b.If you prefer to scan for usage tracks too,then rightclick an empty area in the filesets window,and select 'Select all available checks.'
If none of that works,then please post back.
