Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!
Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.
We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Yes, you can. Rightclick Spybot Start Center and run as admin, click System Scan, stop System Scan if need be, then click Show Previous Logs. The scan logs should be called Checks, with the date the checks were done appended to them. These will probably be the most numerous logfiles. You can rightclick and delete any logfiles you no longer need. If you want to delete multiple ones, you can hit shift on your computer, then select multiple logfiles with your mouse, then rightclick and select delete. You might want to keep any recent logfiles, just in case. I also suggest you keep the updates.logfile, Immunization-Browsers.log and such, as you never know if you might need them.
