Spybot: What is the bot check that it does because...

james76 · 10-20-2005, 06:07 PM

When i look at all the things it is scanning at the bottom of the program i see horrible things such as like "coolWWWsearch! and teensex and dialer etc." Stuff what spyware usually calls its self. anyhow i do not have any spyware results and nothing through avg or adaware but how can i get rid of these things that spybot looks in.? BTW i do not go on any dodgy websites...
Look at your spybot next time and see. I checkd on my friends dads work pc and that had some dodgy looking things when searching for spyware.

thanks

Do you mean on the bottom status bar? That just means its searching your computer for those things, if it doesnt find any of it on your computer, your clean

hes right, the objects that it says on the bottom is what its searching for. Other programs usually just say scanning, but its pretty much doing the same thing. So if it doesnt show anyhting, then it means theres nothing infected on your computer that it can find.
