View Full Version : How to exclude scan of Bookmarks & Favorites
Hi,
Is there a way to exclude Mozilla Bookmarks and IE Favorites
from the Spybot scan?
In Advanced Mode I looked in Settings but I can't find anyplace
to disable scan of Bookmarks or Favorites.
FYI: I have thousands of Mozilla Bookmarks that are dupicated as
IE Favorites and it takes 10 mins or so just to scan them. I
really don't need to scan them.

No,I don't believe there is a way to exclude bookmarks or favorites from the scan.

Danny, allow me to clarify...
On my SLOW WinME computer it takes 29 minutes for entire scan.
16.75 minutes for all other files and 12.25 minutes for the bookmarks.
That's 42% of the total time I can save by excluding bookmarks/favorites.
On my FAST WinXP computer it takes 10.25 minutes for entire scan.
7.12 minutes for all other files and 3.13 minutes for the bookmarks.
That's 31% of the total time I can save by excluding bookmarks/favorites.
That's a substancial time savings in both cases.
I'd really like to be able to disable the scan of bookmarks & favorites.
