Spybot S&D Version 2.3

[goodole1]

I searched the forums before starting this thread and did not find any related subject. I hope it's in the right area, if not I apologize.
I started using this about three moths ago for a trial and there is one thing that is extremely annoying and I went through all the settings and found nothing to discourage it.
Before starting a scan the very top of the menu it mentions temporary file clean up. It gives you an icon to do so. Well I don't do it and it deletes all my recent file histories from Adobe Acrobat, and all Microsoft products. I use excel and word extensively and I don't use the normal root structure to keep my file in, so therefore I have to go out and find the 12 most used or more files. Is there a way to keep this happening?

Thank you

I think what might actually be happening is that your recent file histories from Adobe Acrobat,etc.,are being removed because tracks are being scanned for and fixed.

To get Spybot to stop scanning for tracks,open Spybot-S&D Start Center,checkmark Advanced Mode,click Settings,then the categories tab,and somewhere in the Spybot window,rightclick and select Spyware scan only.
