Thanks, George. I just couldn't understand it but that's clear now.

Spybot as of today's update ,checks for 24,800 different types of spyware threats. That is what is displayed in the Status line.

When I check to see what's happening when Spybot is checking for threats, I get the total to be checked as something like 24 thousand odd. Yet I know there are far more files than that and that the antivirus scan covers three or four times that amount. Is Spybot limited to certain files? Best wishes, Joan.
