SpyBot 1.3 (Recovery Question)

Just installed SpyBot 1.3, uninstalled old ver. 1st, did a full install, and unchecked everything on the install page with Tea Timer on it, want to run in manual mode only, ran SpyBot, it found 5 items, clicked "fix selected items" and everything seem to go fine untill I checked "Recovery" and found nothing there, old ver. put everything in there for 30 days or until you purged it - have I missed something ???????? not liking this at all !!!

 

Thank you - I'll try what you suggest

 

Tried what you suggested xflat, didn't help, been over all items and think I have things set up same as with previous version - I have tried reinstalling 3 times - same thing - any other suggestions,

 

Running ver. 1.3 downloaded from MG - have installed 3 times and throughly cleaned up before each install - tried running SpyBot in the "default" mode - same thing happens - finds problems, says it will remove them, and does remove them, just not backing up into "recovery" - I think next option is to uninstall again and remove copy of SpyBot - clean up Reg. , files and folders and go out and get a fresh copy of SpyBot and try again

 

Yes I put it into " C:/Program Files/SpyBot", - and this sure is strange - never had any trouble with ver. 1.2

 

Also have AdAware installed, updated and have run it - not showing any problems

 

OK, here is the Log from HiJack This - 1st an update on what I've done, I have REMOVED ALL traces of SpyBot from computer and downloaded another copy from Download.com - went to install and got a "corrupt set-up file" error - deleted copy from Download .com and did as you asked - I am not fimiliar at all with this program - hope it helps you - appericate all of every bodies time and effort

I have already deleted the copy from Download.com and downloaded a copy of SpyBot ver 1.3 again from MG - I will take care of the Norton item that HiJack This found - and one more thing - when you guys run SpyBot and the scan finds items either bots or usage tracks - and you choose to "fix selected items", do they show up in your "Recovery" ?????

 

Yes, I went there 1st and made sure all those were checked - haven't reinstalled ver. 1.3 yet, did remove the Norton item with HiJack This, will update this post as soon as I install SpyBot again and run scan

 

Well guys here is the bad news - reinstalled SpyBot from MG download, did "custom install", unchecked desk top icon, tea timer and IE helper, checked "advanced mode", under "settings" everything appears to be checked, by default, correctly, ran scan for "bots" only, 5 were found, selected "fix all problems", was asked if I wanted to remove these problems, clicked "yes", problems were removed BUT not "backed-up" in "Recovery" - I'm totally stumped here !!!!

 

This is getting stranger by the day - ran SpyBot first thing today and same items appear as they did yesterday - appearently the program is NOT removing these items after a scan therefore there is nothing to place in "Recovery" - in the ver. 1.2, when "fix selected problems" was checked and confirmed, the items would be "grayed out" along with a check mark, I get the check mark but the items are not "grayed out" - I guess the whole program is just not working for me -

 

Finally figured this thing out - apperantly ver. 1.3 does NOT save "cookies" to "Recovery " , got this info from SpyBot forums, also after downloading AGAIN this time from "Tucows" the program DID put all "Usage tracks" in to "Recovery" - so everything is working OK - THANKS AGAIN to all who offered help - this is the BEST forum I found
