Member No.: 7,993	Now Adaware's got an 'all user' function which as admin on a five user PC is what I need for scanning. However, I cannot seem to find the same function on Spybot, which means logging on to each user (if they are not password protected) to perform a scan. Any ideas to what I've missed on the config of Spybot? -------------------- 'The good life is more than material decency, but the good life must be based on material decency'. Jacob Bronowski.

However, because of restrictions in the Microsoft APIs (Application Program Interfaces) used by Spybot, the scan from one account does not include the Internet cache or cookies of other accounts So if you dumped the caches and before scanning with Spybot, sounds like you would get a complete scan. Also, if you want teatimer activated for all users the instructions are in the link below. http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=308 (hmm--I wonder if Ccleaner would clean all users caches in one scan--does anyone know?)
