View Full Version : Spybot scans, but cannot detected malware? (Dumb question inside!)

Howdy folks.
So I just ran Spybot S&D and as it was scanning, I noticed all kinds of strange files like Fraud this and Porn that. However once Spybot was done scanning, it didn't give me any warnings, except for some cookies.

So my question is.... the files that show up at "Product: XXX" are those files on my computer that Spybot doesn't see as threats?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello ghoststalker194, :welcome:

During the running of a scan the status bar shows what Spybot-S&D is checking for.

When the scan completes the results are displayed and in your case, as described, no threats were found. :)

Best regards.
