I run a scheduled scan in the early morn, sometimes I'm up early too, when I do I see the Spybot loading progress bar at 100% and the scan splash telling me what its doing at that very moment time.
Neither window appears amenable to minimising, or at least I can't find a way, perhaps there's a secret method - if so could you let us know.
Why is Spybots Loading progress window there anyway, should it not have gone once Spybot's loaded.
In a scheduled scan I would prefer the app be represented by a sys tray icon, rather than a desktop hog, I have to move it in order to get at the things its concealing which results in concealing different things, so I have to move it again, and so it goes, and so it goes.
Sometimes if I'm using the system, when the scan has finished one of the two programs remains in the task bar (can't say which one because they each share the same title). I am forced to kill it with a rght click->Close, wait for the This Program is not Responding, click End Now, wait for it to do its stuff, and click Send report to Mucrosift; if its running, I;ll use SysInts ProcExp to effect a speedier end to the offending task. This never happens if I sleep in.
In summary when the progress bar window has had its say then please make it go away. And make the scan in system tray perform, perhaps with wheels a'spinnng or a pulsating orange glow. When scan is finished and before destruction starts, I'd like to have my say, to review and approve or deny as my fancy is that day; this change of state might be indicated Spypot adopting a lime green glow.
