    Default Can Never Clear all "Threats"

    Something I have noticed in the newest version of Spybot that didn't happen in earlier versions is the inability to clear all "threats." I use the term threats loosely since, thus far, I have only picked up tracks, cookies, etc. - nothing above the green level of severity. In the earlier versions (I have been using Spybot for approximately 10 years) once I ran a scan and "fixed" the results a second scan run immediately after displayed no results. With this version no matter how many scans I run in a row I keep picking up results. Again, they are nothing serious and could be the result of surfing the web while running Spybot.

    Just wanted to see if this was something others are noticing.

    Can you post scan logs to see what has been detected?

    If you were surfing while scanning, it might be possible that you have scanning for usage tracks enabled (Tracks.uti checked in Settings > Categories), which keeps detecting MRUs (most recently used files in programs), browser history, cache and similar.

    Thank you so much for your assistance, Tom. I've only used the very basic functions of Spybot and never knew about the various settings so I really appreciate your mentioning them. I just checked and did indeed have the tracking you mentioned enabled. I'll have to look at the other settings to see if I really need everything that is currently selected.

    My scan log from this morning is below. The only thing I changed was to take out my name and put "name" in its place:
