Using SSD ver 1.6.2.46, I have it set to "advanced" and am looking under the "Ignore Product" option. When I go through each option, I find the following: "Please wait scanning download directories". I wait but nothing happens. Is this a glitch? If not, how do I fix it? SSD is updated and has been running fine. I like to periodically check the ignore products lists as I found one or two checked somehow, in the past.

Spybot isn't actually scanning the download directory when you look in Ignore Products.
"Please wait scanning download directories" is actually an entry in the Ignore Products section of Spybot.It can be checkmarked to be ignored,just like all the other things you see listed in Ignore Products.

As for why there were one or two products checked in Ignore Products in the past,please see here:

Thank you. And those were the two that were checked. I very much appreciate it.
