Questions about Spybot false positives on safe files

[Roger Whitman]

Good day! I have experienced several times that Spybot finds and marks certain files on my computer as potentially dangerous, even though I am sure they are safe. This especially applies to programs that I often use and download from official sources. Is there any way to reduce the number of such "false fires" or to include certain files in exceptions so that they are not checked every time? Any advice or experience on this would be greatly appreciated!

Difficult to answer without more details...

Some "results" that list legit program names are what we call "Usage Tracks", which simply means cleaning them up, not flagging them as malware. You can disable Usage Tracks scanning in the Settings

Single entries of these can also be excluded from the context menu by right-clicking them...

If you provide any example, we can help more
