    Default Recovey function does not work

    Hi,

    I've just started using
    Version 1.6.0.30 on Win XP SP2,
    and noticed that there's no list of removed items
    on the Recovery page when Spybot cleans the system.
    (The page is empty).

    What can be the reason for it,and can it be fixed?

    Regards,

    Upchie

    What did you fix?

    Spybot does not create recovery files for "Tracking cookies" and some other minor items. The storing of other recovery files is controlled by settings within Spybot that are normally checked by default.

    Go into Spybot » Mode » Advanced mode » Settings » Settings, scroll down to Main settings and verify that the following three items are checked:
    • Main settings
      □ …
      ■ Create backups of fixed spyware problems for easy recovery
      ■ Create backups of removed usage tracks for easy recovery
      ■ Create backups of fixed system internal problems for easy recovery
      □ …

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


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

    Thanks.
    All 3 program settings that you have mentioned were checked
    before Spybot was used.
    Spybot found 1 keylogger,10 tracking cookies,
    2 Microsoft's wrong security settings.
    None of them appeared on the Recovery page list,after fixing.
    The recovery page was empty.
    A Spybot bug maybe?
