As I'm fairly new to using Spybot S&D, I'm posting a Spybot log file: can anyone tell me if there's anything ominous in the results? Or perhaps to rephrase the question - am I looking at usage tracks by and large, in this report?
Only my brother and I use this PC & in a case like ours, the Spybot help file says that usage tracks aren't necessarily a bad thing as I recall - is that correct? {I always have several security programs running, while using the Internet}. The first 3 items were in red w/exclamation point in Spybot report; but as to the missing Alexa item... I erased that once in error after Ad-Aware said "Oh, gasp" about that file - but in this case it's really related to IE browser as I understand it. I've thus far only run Spybot 2-3 times, & I believe it finds same things each time (so I don't think "nasties" are getting in from surfing). And for Spybot to do its job properly, should I have Spybot running in background when using the net, or do I just run it now and then to check over the "health" of our PC? * Thanks, for any info that you may provide.

Hi SG1,
What you are looking at are indeed the sort of things Spybot S&D would typically find even on a freshly installed computer. There is no harm in letting it repair the red items. I always let it repair the logs as well, but when troubleshooting they might come in handy. For the official release of Spybot S&D there is no need to keep it running since that has no resident guard, whereas the beta version has. If you would like resident Spyware protection have a look at javacool´s SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard. In Spybot S&D you can disable the checking for usage tracks and System Internals under Setting > File Sets. HTH, Pieter
