Hi this is the first time I see results besides " Congratulations no immediate threats were found" , but today I also see a bunch of entries (green), such as Cache, Window Media Player MS Direct etc.. I don't think they are threats but should I be concerned about them or how do I get back to seeing results the way I used to with only the one liner "Congratulations no immediate threats were found"? Can anyone help please...Thanks

It seem that you may have gone into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > File Sets and checked the last two items:

□ Usage Tracking
□ Tracks.uti

These items deal with "Usage Tracks" and should only be checked if you want to check for them.

Information from Spybot's help facility:

• Scanning your system
  
  …
  
  Red entries indicate spyware problems that should be fixed to avoid security and/or privacy problems. This is the only kind of problem that is preselected to be fixed.
  
  Green entries indicate usage tracks. It can do no harm to remove these.
  
  ...
  
  
• Usage tracks
  
  Usage tracks are your fingerprints in your system. Whenever you visit a page with your browser, or just open any file, that information is stored deep inside Windows. In most cases that is very useful – if you want to open that file again, you can select it from a list instead of typing the whole filename or browsing the whole directory structure again.
  
  But in some cases you may want to hide your activity, because spyware and internet attackers may use that information. Spybot - Search & Destroy can remove some of the most important and common tracks on your system.
