Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / November 2005SpyBot S&D Questions
If this should be in a different community, please advise. In SpyBot's Tools-System Internals there is a provision for checking paths, etc.. I've read their Help and Info sections re this, but am wondering if anyone here has used Spybot to repair any of these discrepancies - for instance, Wrong App Paths and any of the other things it finds ? What actually does it do if you tell it to Fix-it ? All programs, etc. seem to be working fine, although some things seem to load very slowly, but the scan finds a bunch of stuff and I'm wondering if I should let it fix at least the Wrong Paths. Using V1.4 and it's up to date, and set to Immunize if that makes a difference. Anyone have words of wisdom to offer ? Any advice is much appreciated.

I am not using SpyBot currently but it sounds like it scans for registry issues and gives you the option to fix registry problems or delete orphan registry entries. Usually when a program offers to repair such there is an option to backup the settings so that you can undo the changes if you find some reason to do such at a later time though I never needed to with any such program. If that is the case I would allow it to do it's thing and backup the settings. If everything still runs slow you may have other issues such as a virus or possibly too little RAM or hard drive space. Be sure to defrag your hard drive if you have not done that it a while. Open Windows Explorer, select your drive, right click and select properties - tools - defrag now while logged on as a local administrator. --- Steve http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/windowsxpsp2/Default.mspx --- basic must follow Protect Your PC tips from Microsoft. > If this should be in a different community, please advise. > In SpyBot's Tools-System Internals there is a provision for checking [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Thanks. > bobnrobin Thanks, Steven, for taking the time to reply. Before going to the SpyBot Forums, I was curious to know if any of the Experts in these MS groups had experience - good or bad - with that SpyBot tool. Thanks for the other good reminders also. Machine does only have 512 RAM, but HD is about 90% free and is defraged about once a month - whether it says it needs it or not! Just wondered if clearing up some of those "Wrong App Path" entries would be beneficial..
