    Question SD tries to access the floppy on run?

    SD tries to access the floppy on run? In this case the A drive........

    I'm talking about spybot's command line....

    "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe"

    Hello,

    There are different ways to search for spies.
    Spybot - Search & Destroy takes the advantage to check for all existing drives. Antivirus solutions do this also by the way.
    It is checking inactive installations and storing a list of really available drives to avoid unnecessary lookups at later points. The creating of such an overview is taking place right at the start of Spybot - Search & Destroy. At this moment Spybot makes a quick scan to proove if itself is modified by malware or some kind of baddie. So this can take quite a few seconds. Please be patient.

    Best regards
    Sandra

    eh, it's no big deal, phoenix22. in the upcoming spybot 1.5, it'll always check the floppy drives first when running it.
