Hi,
I recently updated my free version of Spybot to 2.2.25. from 1.6.2 Now every time I do a scan all of my preset passwords are erased and I have to enter them again. Example: my mail, Facebook, Amazon etc. I did not have this problem with the old version. How can I chance the settings so that I can keep my passwords after a scan?
Thank you,
Amy
Your preset passwords are probably erased after Spybot fixes certain usage tracks found in a scan:

To get Spybot to stop scanning for tracks,open Spybot-S&D Start Center,checkmark Advanced Mode,click Settings(saying yes if prompted by UAC,if applicable),then the categories tab,and somewhere in the Spybot window,rightclick and select Spyware scan only. :)

Hi Zenobia,
I got all the way to Categories and the only thing similar says: Search for usage tracks. Should I uncheck this one? I did not see any saying Spyware can only....
Thank you

Hi. :)
You see 'Spyware scan only' when you rightclick your mouse in the window where you see Search for usage tracks listed.
But unchecking tracks.uti - Search for usage tracks should work just as well.
I forgot to say before,also click the Apply and Ok buttons below,as well. :)

Hi Zenobia,
I was able to see the Spyware scan only. I have not done a scan yet but I would let you know if this works.
Thanks so much for your help.
