Greetings everyone,
I just updated to Spybot version 2.2.18.177 from an earlier version. In the former version all I saw during a scan was a green line at the bottom of the scan window indicating the progress. In this version the word "Product" is displayed and I see names of (I'm assuming) viruses/spyware, etc. that is being checked to see if it is on my system. The first time I saw this I panicked because I thought these were names of viruses, etc. that WERE on my system and some of them were very scary to say the least - ie. various names with "keylogger" in them!!
I didn't see any of those names in the scan results, but the names within the results are often mysterious looking. Just wanted to double check to make sure that, during a scan, when I see names like "keylogger" or "fraudpack" etc. show up beside the word "Product" that this is not something actually on my system.
Thank you in advance for any insight into this.
