• 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.

where does spybot archive logs?

The resident log remains in the same place when you archive it,it's archived as Resident.yymmdd-hhmm.log,and then a new Resident.log is created when needed.
If you ever want to view it,you can see it by going to Mode->Advanced Mode->Tools->View Report,then View Previous Report,and doubleclicking the Resident.yymmdd-hhmm.log,or you can go to:
* Windows 95 or 98: C:\Windows\Aplication Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
* Windows ME: C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
* Windows NT, 2000 or XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
* Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
and doubleclick the Logs folder,and doubleclick Resident.yymmdd-hhmm.log to view it.
