When I check items in Ignore Products - Security.sdi, where is this data stored?

I would like to copy this data to multiple computers without having to go re-check the items on each machine.

Security.sbi perhaps?

The information for Ignore Products is store in the Bots.sbe file in one of the following locations:

Windows 95/98
C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
Windows ME
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
Windows NT/2000/XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes

Sorry, but you can not do that. Spybot will not recognize external changes to the Bots.sbe file. I assume that this is to prevent malware from excluding itself by manipulating that file. If any changes are made to the Bots.sbe file outside of Spybot the file will be emptied the next time Spybot is loaded.
