    Default Error message after scan...

    I get this error message after scanning. (see screenshot) My windows XP is greek version, SP2, and the error message means "Cannot open file"". The system cant find the specified disk path". Then the spyware appear to have been cleaned but if i scan again they are detected again... Any ideas?

    Hello,

    Which version of Spybot do you run?

    Best regards

    All of the Spybot detections that you listed are tracking cookies. Tracking cookies are third-party cookies and track users cross domain (site to site) profiling the user's surfing habits. If any transaction occurs where the user gives any personal info, then the tracking becomes personally identifiable. While tracking cookies may not be as insidious as some other malware, they are definitely spies.

    If you are using Internet Explorer, you can block the same tracking cookies as Spybot detects by activating Spybot's Resident SD helper Browser Helper Object (BHO). To do this:
    • Go into Spybot > Immunize
      • Check (if unchecked) the following:
        "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer"

      Note: There are three modes of operation for this option:
      • Block all pages silently
      • Display dialog when blocking
      • Ask for blocking confirmation

        Most people prefer: "Block all pages silently".


    There is also another alternative if you use another browser (or even Internet Explorer). You can block tracking cookies in your browser as follows:


    ******************

    As far as the "Cannot open file" error message that you are getting. Can you locate and access that file using Windows Explorer and what is the file?

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    This message doesn't refer to a specific file... There is no file named inside the ""... That's what makes it so strange...
