Although I voted for "only useful sometimes", I wouldn't want them not to be there. I think it's a great feature.

I would like to see more descriptions, especially in TeaTimer alerts.

I voted very usefulI study them, I memorize them, I trace the buggers in the system search and learn their ways
When they rear their ugly heads in other anti spyware progs, I kill them with full knowlege of the consequences. Spybot S&D is the master ninja. May the force be with you!
I have also learned what S&D leaves alone and can guess why, because reg cure and xoftspy did a great job at dicing my system into ribbons (thank goodness for restore options).
It is a learning process and S&D and AVG have been the most informative professors...
very useful, sometimes
The thing about them is that the entries are so long, I can't always read the whole path. That is what makes them less useful.

I only use it sometimes, but i still consider the feature to be essential, as education is the key!

Yes!
Often the dialogue window pops up asking if I want to accept or deny a
particular change and the path isn't completely shown and the name of the
application attempting to make the change isn't shown, so it's hard to decide which answer to give
In addition, the Info box has NEVER shown me any information about the file in question, after years of using Spybot...is it the vestige of some earlier feature that didn't make the cut?
