I'm new here and an "old dog" that came to computers/electronics late in life. I've been accused of knowing just enough to get myself in trouble. :sad: This is minor, however raises a flag with me; the temporary file cleaning function is not working as expected.
Up until 3 days ago, I had hundreds of temporary files cleaned, and the remaining 30 or so files were "in use". Now the exact opposite is occuring, nearly 450 files are "in use" and only 6-8 files are "cleaned". This is a stark difference and concerns me. I've been using Spybot for about 10 years, and this has never happened before.
Is this a program glitch? have I been invaded? No other symptoms of malfunction with my computer are evident. No crashing, no slowing down, no sudden strange behavior. Can anyone speak to this? Much gratitude and appreciation. :)
This happened with the previous version, while led me to update to the current version.
