I have a couple of questions that I hope you folks will answer for me. A couple of months ago a Sbybot-Sd Resident logo appeared on my desktop. It shows as a small Spybot screen with a little lock on it. When I point my cursor on it a box appears that says: Spybot -Sd Resident 1174 processes blacklisted. I update and run Spybot S&D every day, and have done so for over a year. Should there be more processes blocked ? What does that lock mean ?? I have Windows XP Home, Sp2, IE Browser. Thank You for your time, Dennis

Hi Dennis H
As I understand it, the icon you mention just means that you are running Spybot with Resident Teatimer enabled. All good, you have a blacklist and realtime protection. The main thing with Spybot is to IMMUNISE everytime you update the database - makes sure that all protection is enabled. Cheers -------------------- |
