    I like them, would like to see them updated more. A lot don't have anything and more barely have any info at all.

    Default Yes, but they are only sometimes useful.

    Not quite accurate, they're MORE than sometimes useful.

    I read them to see where the narsties are and their names. I make notes of them and check to make sure there's no folders on my puter or leftover files.

    I agree that they're not always useful as sometimes they are too long to be able to read. I learned to make the Spybot window smaller, drag it to the left and then click the right edge of the window to make it as long as possible.

    You can also right-click in the window and "Copy full report to clipboard".

    I not sure if it just that some of the info is lacking due to translation or what but for the most part they are very useful.

    I couldn't sleep w/o them. They're the best feature in S&D.

    I think they are useful. Pity they have disappeared from the latest version of Spybot.

    What do you mean by "they have disappeared"? They are still available in the current version. Just hit one of the two blue arrows on the right to open the description tab.
