I’ve been using spybot for years now on my previous PC and now would like to transfer my settings to my new PC so I can continue to use spybot without too much hassle. The only problem is I have no idea how to export my settings from my old PC to the new one. Can anyone help please?

Hello,
If you want to copy the settings to other computers, first of all, please install Spybot-S&D on your admin account and adjust your settings. Then copy the "configuration ini". It depends on your windows version, where to find it.
Windows 95/98: C:\Windows\Applicationfile\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Windows ME: C:\Windows\All Users\Applicationfile\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Windows NT/2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Applicationfile\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
Now go to the Spybot-S&D program directory, you will find this at: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy, and delete the "(default) configuration.ini". Then insert the copied "configuration.ini" and rename it in "(default) configuration.ini". If you now start Spybot-S&D from the different user accounts, the program generates the "Configuration.ini" for each user from the "(default) configuration.ini".
Best regards
