I have bought to the attension B/4 here at computing.net that when I do a search on .log files ,I noticed a 871K.B. .log file for each day I scan my system using Spybot S&D ! Someone responded tha I could use the setting to chose that the previous .log file be over written, instead of a new and seperate one for each day ? I have the freeware ver 1.2 of spybot and I have no option that I can locate to manipulate any settings ? Is this normal ,or did my download and installing of this app leave something out ,I also have clicked on the update buttom and it says no updates available at this time. There is no advance option ,and again no option for settings ? Along the left side my options are Search & Destroy, Recovery, Immunize, Update and Donations, when I chose any of these, once in that section ,no other option available ? Thanks in Advance ,Nick

Hi Nick, hello everyone The Settings option is only available in Advanced Mode. Go to Start and Programs. Go to Spybot Search & Destroy. Select Spybot-S&D (advanced mode). Now you see Settings in the menu on the left, click on it. A new menu will come up. In the new menu click on Settings. Scroll down in the right pane and you will see Log File Settings. Best Regards, Mesich

Thanks for your input, I followed your instructions and instead of opening the app with the desktop shortcut I went to Start\Programs\Spybot S&D and the only subtitle that came up was Spybot Search & Destroy(easy) ? There was no other choices ? What do ya think ? Thanks Nick

Hi Nick, hello everyone Sounds odd. Try this location: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy Click on SpybotSD.exe. Does that open it in Advanced Mode? Best Regards, Mesich

Thanks mesich, I followed your instructions and browsed my way the the Spybot folder and opened the .exe and sure enough all of the setting, and other options where listed ,I also can bet once I change it to open in advance mode from open in easy mode ,the listing in Start\Programs\Spybot S&D will change from easy to advanced ! Thanks Again Nick

Sure enough once i changed from easy to advanced mode ,now both options are listed in the Start\Programs\Spybot S&D ! Thank You Nick

Hi Nick, hello everyone Glad to hear it all worked out. Your findings are very interesting. Should provide help to others as well. I think I will uninstall mine and see what the results are when I reinstall it. Thanks for posting back with the results. Best Regards, Mesich
