    The entry information will vary depending on the found issue.

    Nice to see another Spybot-SD member.

    Thumbs up

    I voted for "only useful sometimes" but. I think it is a important feature.

    I voted yes and they are useful, but what I think I meant is yes and the they are interesting - they don't get me a beer or cook my dinner.

    Default Yes.

    I do,but I have to admit I enjoy the security aspect of the computer game more than allmost any other area.
    The problem is many people just want to feel protected so they are able to go about their gaming,or surfing or work without worry.
    Their attitude is similar to the old farmer who"s Doctor asked him "do you understand the treatment plan we are working out for you?"
    The olds Macho replied "hell,Doc as long as you you understand it."
    There are computer types like that,and there are the get a second oppion,join a suport group,google it a thousand times types.
    As a charter member of the second set,I LOVE the feature!

    I'm still learning to use Spybot S&D, but this is a cool feature I'm going to have to take a look at. I like knowing something about whatever it finds besides just "whatever.trojan" or "blah.worm" I know what those are, but detail is good- what it does, how much of a threat it is (tracking cookie versus, say, Vundo)

    Do you mean like the 'rating' of the entry? Tracking cookies are basically harmless, although they can become a irritation. Spybot-Search&Destory does not currently offer the 'level rating' feature.

    However, you can find out what Spybot searches for during a scan.
