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?
I don't really think the description is a vetige of an earlier feature, or even the pup ups... The pup ups are maybe small... but the descriptions, are pretty informative... but they are not usefull at all, just interesting :P
So, my vote is Yes, and they are usefull, but really... i don't think why we could find that usefull, as far as we don't start looking by ourselves for those spywares, or even contacting the company that develope them... it is just informative, and when i don't find that, I try to look on the english description that likely have it.
Anyway, and stop talking about it... It just need to be continued, and I like it.
No Information available 90% or higher
90+% of the time the box says:
- "No information available"
they're usually useful when there's something in the box
except when it tells me a change I made to the system could be caused by an infection.
I always remove the stuff I don't use from the Start Menu Through the "Taskbar & Start Menu" Properties dialog and GPEdit.msc.
ie. I compress my XP Start Menu to:

and my 2k Start Menu to: (basically the same)
