The normal uninstall of Spybot-S&D 1.3 does not remove the recovery files that were produced by a previous version of Spybot. See:

I downloaded spybotsd14.exe over a year ago (2005-06-01) and I do not remember.Originally Posted by Tom.K
Spybot is an anti-spyware product and specializes in detecting Dialers, Hijackers, Keyloggers, Tojans, Tracking Cookies and other Malware. It is not an anti-virus product, which primarily detect viruses and worms.Originally Posted by Tom.K

md usa spybot fan has stated Spybot clearly.Originally Posted by md usa spybot fan
try not to confuse anti-spyware software with anti-virus software, Tom.K. antivirus programs and anti-spyware programs work differently and detect different stuff.
but it's good to have both antivirus & antispyware software installed for best protection
Finally,question is over.:blush:
But I have a question again.
Does found and removed usage tracks are added to statistics?
I `ve created cookie list but I will not add it wihout administrator allow.
I think that is in cookie list are tracking cookies.
