SpyBot 1.6.2 is running on my Windows 2000 system, and I've encountered a new problem since the update from 1.6.0.

Sometimes, I download a PDF file and save it to my desktop for easy access. When I click on the file icon to open it in the Adobe Viewer (version 8), the SpyBot checker opens. It lists the file name twice, checks both iterations, does not find any problem, and that's it. I can't open the file without closing SpyBot, but when I click on the file icon again, SPyBot reopens and the same thing happens. An endless loop and hangup.

Instead, if I open the Viewer, I can readily open the downloaded file without SpyBot getting involved.

Is there a setting to tell SpyBot to let me open downloaded files that are saved on my Desktop? Am I missing some other really simple feature?

Hope some of you experts can help me solve this irritating situation.
