    Default Detection detail missing in Spybot 1.5

    The detections in Spybot 1.5 do not appear to contain the level of detail that they did in Spybot 1.4. For example:

    Code:
    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled: Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start!=W=2
    
    
    --- Spybot - Search & Destroy version: 1.4  (build: 20050523) ---
    Code:
    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled: [SBI $2E20C9A9] Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start
    
    
    --- Spybot - Search & Destroy version: 1.5  (build: 20070924) ---
    The detection from Spybot 1.4 indicates "!=W=2" (dword not equal to 2). That detail is not show in the detection from Spybot 1.5. The absence of that information makes it difficult to interpret the detection.

    Hmmm... if I remember the discussions about that correctly, you're a exception there
    It seems that more people were getting confused, not recognizing what that !" means

    Without the information it is impossible to tell what the detection is looking for. I will cite the following query were I had jonathan1947 update and rerun a scan because of the missing information.

    If I hadn't run across questions concerning that detection scores of times in the past and was able to guess at the cause for the detection, even with a listing of the registry entry I could only guess at the cause.

    If it is just a case of the "!" ("not") confusing people, a few lines of code could convert the "!" from the rule set to a "not" on the report.

    I agree with md usa spybot fan, the info should be restored.
